Riassunto

When his parents return from Kenya with a cute little green lizard on his eighth birthday (he s two times two times two), Jacob Two-Two is thrilled. But it isn t long before Jacob realizes that his new pet Dippy isn t a lizard after all. And as months pass, it is apparent Dippy isn t so little either.
