Wonderful Book!,
By Ad Teach "AD" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Albert's Perfect Pet (Paperback)
This is a well written early childhood story that focuses on the ability to choose and care for a pet. Not only does the author describe the mammals in this story with enough detail that the children can "feel" the warmth of the pets Albert first experiences, she juxtaposes cold blooded pet's needs with a fantastic ease of language. I was also impressed with the relationship between the illustrations and the written word. The pictures add to the readability of this wonderful children's book. It provides the young reader with enough visual detail to decode the words that may be challenging for a young reader. As a Media Specialist, I am thrilled to have discovered a fiction book that creatively depicts the search and discovery of a "perfect pet," while at the same time giving the early reader nonfiction facts about cold blooded animals. I am very happy to have this book as a new addition to my library.

This is a great book for K-4 grades who want to learn more about picking a perfect pet. Gives information on choosing warm-blooded vs. cold-blooded pets. Highly recommend.

Great book for preschoolers and teachers alike!,
This review is from: Albert's Perfect Pet (Paperback)
"What a wonderful book! As the owner and teacher of a preschool for the past 18 years, we are always looking for books that deal with real life issues. It was great to see that in this book. We loved that when Albert was given a choice, he was patient enough to make a choice that was good for him, not just pick a pet because he could have one. I like that I can use this as a lesson on patience and responsibility. Congratulations to Ms. Zappala on a great subject and a wonderful book!" ~ Debbie Trotta, Administrator for Smart Start Preschool, Inc., Fair Haven, New Jersey
