The first-person narration is engaging and natural-sounding in these books that describe a young person's quest for a pet. Each book emphasizes the importance of researching the type of pet you want and carefully describes the responsibility, cost, and time commitment involved in pet ownership. Captioned color photographs are clear and informative. Bib., glos., ind.

Jamal, the son of a pet store owner, describes his life with bearded dragon lizards and chameleons. In spite of a chapter misleadingly called "Taking Care of Lizards Is Easy," the narrator explains the intricacies of setting up a suitable environment and of feeding and caring for the pets. Illustrated with plenty of photographs, this book enthusiastically conveys the responsibilities of animal ownership. Bib., glos., ind.

First person narratives and scads of color photographs tell the story of how and why a featured boy or girl chose these pets. Text and sidebars provide general information about basic care and feeding, behavior, and overall expense. These books will help prospective pet owners decide which animal is right for them, but they will need to consult more detailed books before bringing their pets home. Bib., glos., ind.
