Reviews

Gr 3-5-This set surveys potential pets, offering overviews of their attributes rather than specific care instruction. Size, lifespan, and diet are covered, usually in general terms to encompass multiple species. The focus of each book varies by subject. Bugs, Fish, Reptiles, and Spiders highlight the most likely pet species, while Cats and Dogs introduce superlative examples, such as the furriest or tallest breeds. Information about problematic choices, such as praying mantises and trapdoor spiders, is occasionally included. The straightforward writing lays out basic facts clearly using paragraph-long summaries and sometimes detailed captions. "Xtreme Fact" text boxes offer snippets of further information, usually on pet-related topics. Quality photos add solid visual appeal, although some gutter issues lessen their impact. Smart Apple's "Pets Plus" series offers more thorough information including pet care specifics, but this set provides an adequate starting point. α(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal.
