Lizard from the Park

Lizard from the Park

A lonely boyâ€™s new pet grows into a rather large dilemmaâ€”and a Thanksgiving parade offers an uplifting solutionâ€”in this charming tale from the author of The Boy and the Airplane and The Girl and the Bicycle.

When Leonard takes a shortcut through the park, he finds an egg and takes it home, where it hatches into a lizard (or so Leonard thinks). Leonard names his new pet Buster and takes him all around the city: on the subway, to the library, to a baseball game, and more.

But Buster keeps growing and growingâ€”and Leonard gets the sense that Buster is longing for something Leonard canâ€™t provide.

Before long, Buster becomes too big to keep, and Leonard realizes he needs to set Buster free. So Leonard comes up with an inventive plan, one that involves all the balloons Leonard can find and the annual Thanksgiving parade, in an imaginative plot twist that will spark readersâ€™ imaginationsâ€”and touch their hearts.
