Cute story with entertaining illustrations

One look at the cover of this book and I couldn't help but pick it up. "The Lizard Who Followed Me Home" is about a family who unknowingly picks up a stray lizard on their move to California. It is told from the point-of-view of the young girl who rescues the lizard from the dryer (after it escaped from the washer of course) and then can't seem to shake it lose. The illustrations are funny and eye-catching with lots of detail to absorb after the text is read. Keep an eye out for that sneaky reptile... he's good at hiding.The author also explores the emotions involved in moving away from a familier home and saying goodbye to family. She mixes these details in with the humor of the storyline fairly well, although I tend to feel that kids don't appreciate being tricked into reading a self-help book. This book is targeted for ages 9-12, but it seemed more appropriate for my four-year-old son (who thoroughly enjoyed it by the way).
