Lyn and the Fuzzy — James Rice

This bittersweet coming-of-age tale is the story of every child�s secret friend and confidant. Lyn is bored. All the activities he usually enjoys no longer seem interesting. With nothing to do, he wanders into a strange pet shop where he buys a mysterious �fuzzy seed.� Planted with love, trust, and a dream, the seed grows into a friendly, giant creature. Lyn and Fuzzy become great friends, and �even plain everyday games� are fun to play again.
