Rick lives in Minneapolis with his wife, two children, a cat, a gerbil, and a lovable but barky dog.
Gr 1-4-These simple guides to pet care cover feeding, cleaning, housing, handling, and grooming, as well as vacation and health care. Written from the pet's perspective, the books lead readers through the pet ownership process, offering guidance through sentences that often begin with "Don't forget..." and "Before you...." Positive features are balanced with concerns about care and behavior. A cautionary note on the many responsibilities that come with pet ownership is included. Animal shelters and rescue centers are recommended in the "Choosing Your (Animal name here)" chapter. Illustrations are a combination of lighthearted, if lackluster, cartoon artwork and include footprints of the pet in question that lead kids from page to page and photos with somewhat jarring pieces of masking tape superimposed along their edges. Lists of facts and tips conclude each book. Useful and child-friendly introductions to pet ownership.α(c) Copyright 2014. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
