Houdini's Gift by Jeanne Gehret, illustrated by Michael LaDuca

From chapters.ca:
Revisiting well- loved characters from a past adventure, this picture book presents animal- loving Ben with the challenge of having another pet after losing his pet hamster. Knowing that Ben is not ready to care for a new pet, his parents help him develop responsibility and readiness by using a reward chart. Young readers will enjoy sharing the secret that Mom keeps from Ben through the whole process of selecting and preparing for the new pet. The advice within the story shows how families living with ADHD or learning disabilities will gain solace by fine- tuning desired behaviours through setting and pursuing goals.
