	bookdads said: A little girl arrives at her house with an octopus that followed her home, but when she asks her daddy if she can keep him, he reminds her of the other pets he has let her keep. That would be the crocodile, seals, giraffe, grizzly bear, penguins, mountain goats, rabbits, and elephants that are already cluttering up their home. The silly story and bold colors of this book will certainly appeal to young children. This is another disciplinarian father, but with such a house full of animals who can blame him for saying “no”? tags: fathers, dads, animals, pets, Dan Yaccarino, children's book, I recommend
