This book was okay but not one of my favorites for Mercer Mayer. It is about a young girl who keeps finding animals in her house doing unusual things. It is a little long but has a cute ending.

This is a silly story that would be suitable for younger elementary aged students. The illustartions are amusing and done well. There is a reptative sentence: "What do you do?" Punctuation is varied using periods, exclamations, and questions marks.

This is a very cute story for students at the elementary school level. The story is somewhat repetitive, using the question "What do you do?" This is great because students can read this repetitive sentence with the teacher. The pages are also fun and colorful.

This book is about a girl who always has animals in her way and she wonder what to do? In the end they all come back and she realizes if you can't get rid of them, just let them stay. It was a very cute book.

over the floor? What do you do when a tiger takes your trike and insists you push him on it?

YOU THROW THEM OUT!

Of course, if you can't, you might all just have to snuggle up together and go to bed. It's been a long day :)

This book is great. It tells the story of a young girl who unintentionally finds herself with one too many animal visitors. It's clever and the illustrations are beautiful. You can use this in the classroom setting to make children laugh or teach them about various animals.
