The Truth Behind Your Pets’ Wildest Behaviors
Written by Eleanor Spicer Rice, PHD, Illustrated by Rob Wilson
Take heed, animal lovers! Ever wonder what your dog, cat, goldfish, rabbit, ferret, python, or tarantula’s strangest or most uncooperative behaviors are telling you? Bring on the aha moments in Your Pets’ Secret Lives: The Truth Behind Your Pets’ Wildest Behaviors. This is a comprehensive six-part collection of essays as funny as they are informative, as conversational as they are factual. The text is spruced up with full-color spot art and broken up with interviews with real animal scientists. Yes, the poop content delivers in spades! Everything you did and didn’t want to know about your pet.
Students will enjoy reading the entire book or picking and choosing to read about what animal interests them, which is one of the perks that comes with reading nonfiction. For me, I enjoyed perusing through the Dogs and Aviary parts. I hope my students enjoy this book as much as I have.
