You Have a Pet What?! does a remarkable job of entertaining youngsters while providing them with the skills they'll need to get the most out of reading now and well into the future. Each section focuses on a different atypical pet - a skunk, bearded dragon, hedgehog, pygmy goat, mini pig, and a ferret - and is structured in a way that is both playful and instructive. Kids learn about the history, behavior, and disposition of each animal in addition to gaining a strong sense of what would be involved in its day to day caretaking. The book contains 192 pages of fascinating full color photographs coupled with easy-to-follow diagrams and text-based questions that are highly effective in building reading comprehension, critical thinking, vocabulary development, and other essential skills. Equally beneficial is the way in which the book's massive fun factor causes young readers' enthusiasm for the written word to skyrocket.
