A cute book from a woman as obsessed with animals as I am. At times I forgot she was writing to children because she didn't spare details such as death or injury of animals. It would be a good read for an older grade schooler, or one with whom you wouldn't mind discussing matters of life and death in the animal kingdom.

I think this book was very cute and it had a lot of tips to own a pet successfully
bibliokris's review against another edition
4.0
This book made me laugh REALLY hard. The author really does have close to a million pets in her house. Sugar gliders, birds, pygmy mice, you name it. My problem with the book is who her audience is. The book has been published and marketed as a children's book (middle grades) but her voice and tone are often more appropriate for someone from 20 and up, and definitely female. It's a great book--I just wish an editor could have worked with her to publish this one for adults (maybe with a little more adult content) and then published the children's version too, with less stuff that wouldn't click with kids.
