We already have two dogs, a cat, two hamsters, a fish tank, and a hermit crab and yet my kids want to keep more pets. Ever since my 3 year old daughter bought this book, it has become a convincing piece in our house to lure me and my husband in going to the pet store.
A lot of kids develop a liking to only a few specific animals while end up disliking some or being scared. This book is a great way to educate kids and expose them to the fun facts and make belief traits of different animals.
