This colorful, direct, and well-presented series will be great for kids interested in starting from scratch with a pet. Each book tells what to consider when deciding which companion to get, how to choose the right pet for the right individual, and then presents a list of "top 10" types to choose from (breeds of dogs, types of small mammals, etc.). This alphabetical list includes information about the appearance, general behavior, and special needs of each type ofanimal. These books can be read cover to cover or mined for information about a specific breed or species. Each one includes beautiful full-color photos showing the animals at their best. Judicious use of text boxes, crisp fonts, and white space will make it easy for readers to follow the flow of information. In keeping with their Humane Association affiliation, the books stress the value of adopting adult pets from shelters., School Library Journal Fall 2008
