Midwest Book Review
When a little boy decides he wants an iguana for a pet, he uses his vividly delightful imagination to dream of what he and his new pet will do. I Wanna Iguana is a colorfully illustrated picture book, sure to delight young children, whether their parents read it to them or they read it to themselves. The little boy's dream pet is talented and humorous, taking off to outer space and reading comics. The drawings are laugh-out-loud funny, the prose amusing to adults and children alike. The last few pages of the book include instructions on the care and feeding of iguanas, for those kids who tell their own parents, "I wanna iguana!" I would definitely recommend this book for young grade-school children, and, of course, anyone who loves iguanas.
