No. You can't leave it like that. You can't let readers think that she actually did get the wish.

Basically just the first day of dog ownership, and you know those kids are going to start slacking off and avoiding their dog-related chores the same way they avoid all their other chores.

This is another book where nothing really gets resolved on a permanent basis. That's the kind of thing that will build into a cycle.

The best part: “'What is booty, Papa?' Asked Sister.”

I was really expecting it to be about Mama and Papa bear realizing that sometimes pushing everybody to do too many things on a long car trip is a bad idea, but no.

Nobody talks like that. When you put it into rhyme like that, it doesn't sound natural.

This is like answering the question of “Who's Grandpa Smith?” by saying, “I'm really glad we have nice silverware.”

Mama Bear doesn't give Sister any actual advice or think about what kinds of situations she could get into, only tells her that she has "responsibility." What that responsibility is, is never mentioned. Is this like Spider-man? Is she supposed to catch criminals?

An odd way of thinking about things, and also really long and boring, especially for such a brief story.

So it's a really long, meandering story that doesn't go anywhere.
