Whose Pet Is Best? - Carolyn Keene

Chip, Chip, Hooray!
Hey, kids, do you have a poodle that can doodle? the man on television asked.
Or a snake that can shake? Does anyone out there have an amazing pet?"
We do! We do!
Eight-year-old Nancy Drew and Katie Zaleski bounced up and down on the couch in Nancy’s den.
If you do, then come meet me, Mr. Lizard, at the Carl Sandburg Elementary School tomorrow at ten A.M.,
the man continued. For the Amazing Pet Contest.
Bess Marvin and her cousin George Fayne, Nancy’s two best friends, jumped up from the couch and cheered. Nancy’s puppy, Chocolate Chip, was going to be in the contest. So was Katie’s parrot, Lester.
The four girls were all in the same third-grade class.
And remember, kids,
Mr. Lizard said. "The winning pet and its owner will appear live on TV—right here on Mr. Lizard’s Funhouse."
Mr. Lizard’s Funhouse was Nancy’s favorite television show. She loved the games, songs, and silly jokes. But most of all, she loved the funny man with the wild red hair—Mr. Lizard.
Katie clasped her hands. I’d do anything to be on Mr. Lizard’s show. I’d wear my baby picture around my neck! I’d even eat brussels sprout sandwiches!
Brussels sprout sandwiches?
George shook her bouncy dark curls. Gross!
That’s our show for today, kids,
Mr. Lizard said. But before we say goodbye, it’s time for a little lizard dancing!
I knew he’d do the lizard dance,
Katie squealed. I knew it!
Nancy and her friends did the lizard dance, too. They waved their fingers behind their heads and flicked their tongues in and out.
When the show was over, Nancy turned off the TV. I can’t believe Mr. Lizard is going to be in our very own school yard tomorrow.
Katie fell back on the couch and hugged her knees. "I don’t think Lester and I will sleep a wink tonight.
Bess turned to Katie. What are you and your parrot going to do in the contest?
Sing a song,
Katie said proudly.
I’ve heard Lester talk, but I’ve never heard him sing,
Bess said.
I have,
Nancy said. One time I watched Lester when Katie’s little cousin Melvin visited her.
Melvin is allergic to feathers,
Katie explained, so Lester has to leave whenever he’s around.
George whistled. Wow! A talking, singing parrot. That’s cool.
Of course, Chip’s got a great trick, too,
Bess added quickly. How’s it going, Nancy?
"Let’s find Chip,
