If I Had a Raptor

(3) K-3 A girl with big poofy pigtails describes what life would be like with a pet raptor. Readers will relish looking around the narrative at what's really happening: while the girl's tone stays chipper, the high-spirited illustrations show that life with Raptor, who gets bigger as the story progresses, wouldn't be a breeze (note the scattered homework and half-eaten armchair).
