My First Book of House Pets

My First Book of House Pets is a beautiful introduction to the world of furry, fluffy, and all-around adorable pets for babies and toddlers. Like other titles in the earth-friendly series Terra Babies at Home, this book helps tots develop a connection with the natural world and is made with FSC materials and nontoxic inks. Simple and quirky text pairs with charming art by Asa Gilland in this book where animal lovers will learn about house pets in a friendly and easy way while being introduced to basic concepts of animal care and the environment. "Cats purr to communicate. They purr when they are happy," we read. "Dogs love to play, and you can teach them tricks." Readers will learn to make a fish face, that hamsters are lively friends, and that lizards have cool names. And that's not all: The book shows readers how to pick a pet from a local shelter and the importance of keeping a pet healthy and giving it tons of love!
