When Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney leave to pick up their kids from
Camp Yippie-Yahoo, Henry has his first job as a Critter Sitter.

The Mahoney's don't just have a dog and cat, though.  They
also have a tree frog, a fish, a bird, and a boa constrictor.  It
doesn't take long for Henry to find out that keeping
Slobberchops in the laundry room, and the bird in its cage, and
the snake in its tank is no easy task.

The dog escapes into Mrs. Angora's yard (she's the old lady
who lives in a spooky mansion on the top of the hill!), the fish is
almost flushed down the toilet, the bird makes a run for it, and
there are live crickets all over the kitchen!

Creature Control may be Henry's game, but the Mahoney pets
are not making his job easy!

Children will delight in this fun story, and the full-color
illustrations only add to the humorous chaos.  This is a great
bedtime - or anytime! - read for the whole family.
