Can anyone chime in on the title "Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?"? The title and opening makes it sound like the kid wants to get rid of the rhinoceros for being a nuisance, but the book makes it look like the rhinoceros is a great pet that the kid has no intention of selling or giving away. Am I missing something here, or is the kid's later narration just a daydream?
