Have
you ever considered which animal makes the ideal pet? Or perhaps you’re on the
hunt for a new addition to your family? If so, then this book would seem to
be purrfect for you! Written by an author with a background in
zoology and animal behaviour, you’d expect some great advice from this
book.
But
can you trust it?
Is
a rhino with ‘a sweet earthy aroma to match their gentle temperament’ really
such a fabulous beast? (Note the top tip from the illustrator, Tommy Doyle:
consider using the rhino’s horn as a hook to hang your bag.) Or does an
anaconda, ‘elegant and loyal’, really have ‘impeccable manners?’
Perhaps
there is some truth to the book’s warning to beware of bunnies, puppies and
kittens. Especially kittens ‘armed with needle-sharp teeth and claws’…
A
Beginner’s Guide to Choosing the Perfect Pet will either leave you scratching
your head or provoke ‘rambunctious’ debates, but will guarantee some belly
laughs. With a smattering of challenging words to learn and have fun
pronouncing, it’s ideal for kids aged 5 years and above.
