> One book I had when I was a kid was called "One kitten for Kim" It was about this boy, Kim, whose cat had kittens. The litter was about 8 or so. Well, his mom told Kim he needed to get rid of all the kittens but one. He could keep one kitten for himself.

> So, Kim loads his wagon with all the kittens. The first house he goes to, he explains he has to get rid of the kittens. The lady said yes, she will take a kitten - BUT- only if he will take her daughter's pet lizard. Kim agrees.
>
> The next house take two kittens but he has to take two puppies in trade. The next house, fish, and on it goes.
>
> By the end of the book, Kim has one kitten, two puppies, one lizard, some fish, a bunny, a bird, and a snake (or something just as creepy.)
>
> The last page shows Kim running home with his wagon full of all his new pets with him saying "Hey mom!! Guess what?"
