Rabbits

Children's Literature - Jamie Hain

There are over forty different types of rabbits in the world. They come in a variety of sizes, colors and coat types, and many are readily available through rabbit adoption societies, pet stores and breeders. This informative book teaches readers how to care for their rabbits, regardless of type. Johnson gives daily feeding suggestions, as well as information about cleaning responsibilities and exercise recommendations. After reading this book, readers will know not just how rabbits act, but why they act as they do. Whether new owners want their rabbits to live in an outdoor cage, to live in an indoor cage or to roam the house, this book tells readers how to set up the perfect environment that will be both fun and safe for the rabbit and its new family. Part of the "Getting to Know Your Pet" series, this book contains a glossary, an index, and a list of websites with further information about life with rabbits. This book is written for the child pet-caregiver, and illustrations enhance and reinforce the information on every page. Information boxes answer common questions that new pet owners will have about living with and caring for rabbits. There is also a section for parents about how to help their children care for the new family pet, including tips dscribing what pet-care tasks are appropriate for children, how small children interact best with rabbits, and how to make sure the family rabbit stays safe and healthy. This book is a must-read for all first-time rabbit owners. Reviewer: Jamie Hain
