Description

A lonely boy’s new pet grows into a reasonably large predicament—and a Thanksgiving parade offers an uplifting solution—in this charming tale from the creator of The Boy and the Airplane and The Girl and the Bicycle.

When Leonard takes a shortcut through the park, he finds an egg and takes it home, where it hatches into a lizard (or so Leonard thinks). Leonard names his new pet Buster and takes him everywhere in the city: at the subway, to the library, to a baseball game, and more.

But Buster assists in keeping growing and growing—and Leonard gets the sense that Buster is eager for something Leonard can’t provide.

Before long, Buster becomes too big to keep, and Leonard realizes he needs to set Buster free. So Leonard comes up with an inventive plan, one that involves the entire balloons Leonard can find and the yearly Thanksgiving parade, in an imaginative plot twist in an effort to spark readers’ imaginations—and touch their hearts.
