Monster Pet!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Charlotte Middleton. Jackson is disappointed with the hamster his parents give him, but he names it Monster hoping for excitement. When he forgets to care for Monster, the hamster fends for himself and turns into a...monster. Monster takes Jackson as a pet and neglects him--but not really, it was just a dream. Different textures in the collage illustrations add interest to the unsurprising tale.
