Publishers Weekly
Some unexpected "pets" act rambunctious in this high-energy pop-up featuring Staake's trademark cartoons. A "hairy" pet (a doughy ape) plays a wild game of cards with blue and green children (the cards fly across the room in a pop-up arc); meanwhile, a "toothy" alligator shows off his best assets as a "cool" lion (dressed like a beatnik) plays with his drumsticks. The madness concludes with the pets catching a ride on a big, 3-D yellow bus: "Now It's Time for School, Pets!" The goofy incongruity will win over young readers. A large zoo poster is included. Ages 4-8. (May)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
