COPY ISBN
Gr 2—3—Randolph provides a broad overview of each animal, offering the advantages of pet ownership and some advice about care without going into any depth about either subject. The books are geared to emerging readers still progressing toward chapter books, but the awkward writing and unconventional line breaks disrupt the flow of the texts. Still, the color photos, many full page, are attractive and eye-catching. A page of facts and trivia (e.g., hermit crabs urinate through their antennae) is appended. These colorful books will have appeal because of the featured animals but they are strictly additional supplements to more traditional pet books.—Kara Schaff Dean, Walpole Public Library, MA
