From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3–These three titles provide concise, competent introductions to the responsibility and fun of being a pet owner. Each volume introduces the creature in question, explains what is needed to keep it safe and healthy, and offers a bit about its life expectancy. There is also information on Wild Relatives (a nine-pound coconut crab in Hermit Crab) and decoding your pet's behavior. The FactHound Web portal presents safe, accurate, and current online resources. These books are hardly groundbreaking in terms of pet care, but they are attractive and well suited for young readers in both tone and content. The clear color photographs display the animals in all their glory. In each book, a cartoon pet provides commentary from outside the main text, similar to the cricket in Cricket magazine.–Kara Schaff Dean, Needham Public Library, MA
