It goes over some of the more common pets that are kept such as dogs, cats, birds, and some more exotic pets like snakes for instance.
Pro: It is very well put together as far as the general outline of the book. It is reader friendly and has some nice illustrations within it. It is a great beginner book if you are wanting to learn a little bit more about the origin of a pet, what to feed it, and how to take care of it.
Con: This book is a very brief reference book. It is not meant to be an in-depth book. I personally didn't get a whole lot out of it.
