This book is written in letters between a boy and his mother as he tries to convince her to allow him to adopt an iguana. This is an excellent book to use for an introduction to persuasive writing... grades 2-4. ( )

Alex just has to convince his mom to let him have an iguana, so he puts his arguments in writing. He promises that she won't have to feed it or clean its cage or even see it if she doesn't want to. Of course Mom imagines life with a six-foot-long iguana eating them out of house and home. But Alex presents his arguments. Does he get his iguana?
