K-3Read Me!: Pets Undercover! series.
Pets "narrate" what they do while their human families aren't home. Photos and descriptions of instinctual behaviors explain how "wild" yet natural it is when cats hiss, stalk, pounce, etc.; and when dogs guard territory, bark, and chew toys. Simple, large-print sentences are suited to early readers. While hokey, the anthropomorphized first-person narratives encourage comparison with readers' own pets. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Read Me! Pets Undercover! titles: The Truth about Cats and The Truth about Dogs.
