(4) K-3 Family Pets series. This very basic series is designed to help children decide "the right pet for your family." In each book, one or two simple, choppy sentences on the left-hand pages face a large color photo on the right; while adequate practice for beginning readers, they don't give much factual information. A picture list of supplies is appended. Glos., ind. Review covers these Family Pets titles: Birds, Cats, Dogs, Fish, Hamsters, and Hermit Crabs.
