I read this in my excercise book:

But Mum, Jenny gave me three beetles into my pet house.

Is the preposition "into" here is correct?

The whole sentence is quite strange. Could you check that you have copied it correctly, duc? If that is correct, then I think you should look for a better exercise book.
