A Kid's Review

This review is from: Oh, the Pets You Can Get!: All About Our Animal Friends (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)

Oh, the Pets You Can Get by Tish Rabe is an excellent book for young readers who like animals and rhyming. This book is also a good book for kids who like Dr.Seuss. This book is designed to teach young readers how to take care of pets. I think this book is for all ages. I also this book this for the kids who want to become animal experts. The pictures are beautiful. They have very bright colors. I think this will be the first thing that young readers would notice. In the pictures are pets. You might notice other characters like The Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2, and the boy and girl. I think the pictures are the most unique element in the book. This book takes place in Gerpletz. Gerpletz is a place where the pets are treated like people. In Gerpletz, they have pets like cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits and parakeets. In the book, Thing 1 and Thing 2 give you facts about the animals. Even though Gerpletz was made up, I want to go there. Oh, the Pets You Can Get is very useful. It gives you information and tips on how to keep your pet and you healthy. If a young reader gets stuck on a word, they can look in the glossary. It also teaches about the pet individually. This book can also be used as a guide. Oh, the Pets You Can Get teaches you about pets, but it also teaches that your pet loves you more than anything else. You can learn a lot from this book. If you have a pet you might want to read this book. I love Oh, the Pets You Can Get because anybody can read it. Even if you're an adult or in kindergarten

5.0 out of 5 stars A good picturebook introduction to the world of pet ownership, September 12, 2005

This review is from: Oh, the Pets You Can Get!: All About Our Animal Friends (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) (Hardcover)

New to the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library series is the zany coverage of animal friends, featuring the Cat in Hat illustrations by Aristides Ruiz and Joe Mathieu and telling of the Cat in the Hat's visit to a land of pets. Containing nonfiction information but reading with the drama and grace of fiction, Oh, The Pets You Can Get: All About Our Animal Friends is a good picturebook introduction to the world of pet ownership.
