The Day Lenny the Lizard Got Loose

By Molly McPatrick

Pizza sauce footprints on the kitchen counter?

Up the wall?

And all over the ceiling?

Oh my-who got loose in the kitchen?

Meet Lenny, a clever little pet lizard who escapes his terrarium and turns an ordinary morning into a laugh-out-loud adventure. As Lenny scampers through the house, his best friend Tim and his family work together to track him down, clean up the chaos, and make things right.

The Day Lenny the Lizard Got Loose is a playful, child-centered story that celebrates curiosity, family problem-solving, and responsibility-along with the courage it takes for Tim to tell the truth when he's late for school. With humor, heart, and a reassuring ending, this illustrated tale reminds young readers that even when things get messy, everyone-including a mischievous pet lizard-can make it through just fine.

Perfect for bedtime or shared reading, this lively story invites children and parents to laugh together before settling in for a good night's sleep.
