This is a book that my toddler wants to read over and over. It’s a book with flaps to lift, of course. I like this one because it has more purpose than the other books we’ve read together. It teaches kids empathy and how to observe pets to figure out what they need. It’s short and interactive enough to keep young humans entertained. The illustrations are adorable




Do you like opinions, giveaways, and bookish nonsense?
I have a blog for that.

What a cute lift-a-flap way to introduce pets to wee ones and how to take care of pets while also teaching about emotions and the emotional health of a pet.
