Illustrated by
Marta Sorte.
Each two-page spread presents a (not-very) "wacky" fact about a pet and a "More About..." blurb on that animal, with a slick, cartoony illustration on the facing page. The usual suspects, dogs and cats, are included, along with the less-common hedgehogs, rats, toads, and more. The lively writing and humorous pictures make this an entertaining browsing book; readers may be too entertained to realize they're also learning some science.
