Kids want pets that are fun. Parents and teachers want pets that are pleasant to have around and easy enough for children to care for (without having to be endlessly reminded to do it).

This book tells new or future pet owners what they need to know, with plenty of photos and lively writing on the grade four reading level.

Here are the best, easiest to care for and most FUN pets for kids 9-12. Both the pluses and the possible challenges of having each pet are described in language kids understand.

In this chapter book, children discover what the 10 best pets are, why they’re fun to have, challenges of having each pet and what’s required to care for them:

• Basic pet care for each of the 10 pets.
• How to know you’re ready to have a pet.
• What being a responsible pet owner means.
• What you must do to get ready to welcome a pet to your home or classroom.
• The safe way to pick up and hold a small pet.
• Amazing things pets can do, including tricks to teach them.

If you have a child who longs for a pet, this book is sure to please!
