Jellybaby and other Problem Pets

Luke had always wanted a pet: first he tried Dizzy, a spider, but that caused trouble at school. Next he tried Jellybaby, a mouse, but his mum insisted he return it to his friend, Sadie. Then a lost kitten adopts him, but the owners want it back. Just when everything seems hopeless, the landlady's nephew arrives with a surprise for Luke. In the second story it seems Luke will have to give up his beloved spaniel, Rosita, when Miss Webb, the landlady, goes into a nursing home and the house is put on the market. In the end though, it's George, Miss Webb's nephew, again, who saves the day. A pair of homely, readable stories with lots of dialogue.
