This is hands down one of best childrens books we have read. It is so funny my 4 year old laughed the whole time. I first had to explain what pet peeves were because he didn't really know, but once he got it he loved it. Apparently this little boys parents have a pet name peeve but he must be very small and quite fast because he's never seen him. Hmm. His parents ask him things like "Who left chocolate finger prints on the piano keys again? That is my pet peeve." The little boy even draws pictures of what he thinks Peeve might look like. Hilarious! This book is tons of fun to read, but even after we are done we have more fun pointing out what our pet peeve are/or what our pet "Peeve has done. We have since read it over and over and over. It's a great way to point out something your child shouldn't be doing. If my little one does something I will just jokingly say that is my pet peeve and then he will say something like "I can't believe Peeve did that!" Your child might behave a little better if just for the first night he reads this book.
For ages 3-9... A young boy is determined to hunt down Peeve, the mysterious and mischievous pet his parents talk about so often. Although his parents' pet is apparently quite small, Peeve certainly causes a lot of trouble. Peeve leaves chocolate finger prints on the piano, toys all over the house, water on the bathroom floor, mud on the carpet, and crumbs on the couch. What kind of unusual pet is Peeve? And why do the boy's parents let such a wild pet live in their home? Both children and adults will relate to this humorous story, which will likely lead to a discussion about their own pet peeves.
I received a copy of this book free in exchange for an honest review.
