Mi Primer Perro

Children's Literature - Rosa Roberts

Pet lovers young and old will fall in love with all the puppy and dog photographs in this selection from the "My First Pet Bilingual Library" from the American Humane Association. Owning a dog for the first time is a lifelong commitment and responsibility which this Spanish and English book clearly presents throughout the 26 pages of informational text. The bilingual book includes a table of contents with the nine chapters, words to know, listings of learning more with books and internet addresses, plus an index. Young readers will be asked to think about what kind of dog to adopt as a pet and suggests an animal shelter as the best place to find a companion. The basic necessities and supplies for dog are presented along with recommendations for veterinarian check-ups. Pets do become part of the family once brought to the home. The English and Spanish text is suitable for readers of either language. Reviewer: Rosa Roberts
