Children Make Terrible Pets by Peter Brown

Lucy Bear has found the most perfect pet, a child! She begs for permission to keep him, but soon realizes that even though her new pet is a lot of fun, he isn't as perfect a pet as she thought. Ultimately she learns that the most perfect place for her 'perfect pet' is with his own family.

The simple illustration style brings a lot of charm to this book, and the presentation is a great way to teach kids to leave animals where you find them. Even disregarding the moral, it's a very entertaining book.
