Ok, so I like kids' books that were written in the 50s and 60s, and I really like most of Catherine Woolley's books, but this one failed. A little girl is obsessed with animals and doesn't really care whom she annoys or frightens with them, and her weirdo parents let her take lizards and frogs out of their natural habitat and stick them in a box in her bedroom, where the little girl is sure they are "happy." I don't know....did people think that was ok in 1950? At any rate, this book is the dullest of hers, although she always does a good job of describing scenery. :)
