Gr 3-6-These books should be required reading for anyone considering either animal as a pet. Lively and informative, with photos scattered across and around the pages, they offer a wealth of valuable advice beginning with a list of good and bad points about each species. Each title includes facts about the animal; caring for it, including feeding and visits to the vet; and ways to say good-bye when the animal dies. "Top tips" are given in boxed information throughout the book, and the full-color photos are relevant, instructive, and located near the appropriate text.-Pam Spencer Holley, Young Adult Literature Specialist, Virginia Beach, VA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.Book Details
