My little dude loves the pictures of animals and I love all the tidbits of information we ve read in this book It s a short read but packed full of information just enough for young minds to digest.
A fun and fascinating book I learned a lot about how animals throughout history and how they became housepets Very appealing photographs and colorful graphics and lettering Humor without being cloying or juvenile Remember animal pet is an equation that took people a long time to solve Animal worker companion food on foot was like it The reading level is a bit challenging for the intended age group A glossary might have been nice for words like avian or hierarchy Good index and other nonfiction [...]

Humane educators won t want to miss this fun nonfiction selection that discusses the history of the animals we call our best friends This would be an especially nice choice for a student writing a report I appreciated the comment about how the widespread hatred and extermination of cats in Europe helped the rodent hosted bubonic plague to spread a point that has been made by Animal People News for years.
This book is not only interesting, but relevant to most, if not all, of the students in my class Some of the weird facts or superstitions that used to surround pets will be fascinating to students and will ask them to consider why our traditions are the way they are today.
This is a great overview of this history of animal domestication, the role of pets in culture society happily, with a number of items that are not from Western history and a close up look at many common kinds of pets Great for young animal lovers
p 5 number of pets vs number of people pets than people p 7 number of types of pets guess which we own most of fish than all other types combined
Students would enjoy this as a read aloud.
Lots of enjoyable and interesting tidbits about our furry feathered fined friends and well referenced A rather strange and abrupt ending, though.
Adorable read on the history of pets and animals Great visuals with little facts along the margins.
very interesting book about the transition of animals from working partners to pets
Pet theme Chapter book so will have to break up read allude for primary students
Great informational book for students interested in people and animals Bright, colorful book with pictures and photographs that grab the readers attention.
Beautiful pictures and layout, but the language is a bit irksome I would want to impart on a child that owning a pet and sharing one s home and life with an animal are two very different things.
Full of fun information I would definitely read it again and slooowwly if I were a child planning to take an AR quiz.
