(4) 1-3 Animal Inn series. Illustrated by Stephanie Laberis. The Tyler family animals (A Furry Fiasco; Treasure Hunt) think they are taking a trip to school, but the first-grade class comes to visit them at Animal Inn instead. Narrated by Coco, the Tylers' chocolate Labrador retriever, the engaging if predictable story's short chapters are filled with misunderstandings that create mild tension and humor. Muddy half- and full-page grayscale illustrations are included.

(4) 1-3 Animal Inn series. Illustrated by Stephanie Laberis. The Tylers, (human) owners of the Animal Inn, provide pet services and boarding, offering "any habitat a guest might need." In both formulaic installments (each narrated by a different animal inhabitant), a rumor of a scary upcoming guest gets the family pets in a tizzy. Short chapters, humorous misunderstandings, and peppy narrators will appeal to new chapter-book readers. Muddily produced black-and-white illustrations are included. Review covers these Animal Inn titles: A Furry Fiasco and Treasure Hunt.
