“Hilarious. . . A familiar domestic interchange, played out with broad comedy—and mutual respect, too.” –Kirkus Reviews

“This funny story is told through an amusing exchange of notes, as Alex tries to convince his seemingly unshakable mother that he should be allowed to adopt a friend’s baby iguana (“If I don’t take it, he goes to Stinky and Stinky’s dog, Lurch, will eat it. You don’t want that to happen, do you?”). . . The tale is perfect for reader’s-theater presentations and could also be used effectively as a writing prompt for older children. It will make even the most serious youngsters giggle.” –School Library Journal
