1-3Judy Moody and Friends series.
Illustrated by
Erwin Madrid.
Judy navigates pet ownership in three chapters. In the first, Jaws (her Venus fly trap) is not doing well, so Judy and Stink get Jaws a plant friend. In the second, Mouse (the cat) sets up a psychic pet table. Lastly, toad Toady goes to obedience school. The easy-to-read book, with clear, supportive illustrations, works well for newly independent readers.
