can have very differing ideas of what is the perfect pet, Sister is perfectly content with a boring little guinea pig, but brother wants something much more exciting.

Everybody loves pet books, especially pet books that feature unconventional pets, There are so many whizbang great pets you can get!

A funny rhyming book that made us giggle, Cutely illustrated story about a little brother trying to come up with better pets than his sister's lame guinea pig.
The pets he thinks up are pretty fun, In this goofy book, a boy imagines an increasingly ridiculous series of pets who would be more fun and awesome than his sister's guinea pig.
However, after giving the guinea pig a chance, he realizes the little critter can be a pretty cool pet, too.


This book is cute, with appealing and brightly colored illustrations, However, it also seems to celebrate kids' tendencies to unwittingly manhandle small animals sleeping in bed with a small rodent bad idea.
Even small pets are a big responsibility and they are not toys,

A I like this story, and I wish it were a little shorter so I could read it to my babies! Really cute, and I love that as he thinks about the awesome, exciting pets he would get, he also starts to realize that the pet he has is cool too.
Guinea pigs can be cool pets, too, Opening: Ask the children what, if any, pets they have at home, Tell about the parakeet you had as a child and/or your brother's cats, Show them the book and brainstorm animals that might be included, Vote which animals sound like good pets vs, not good as pets.

Opening moves include activating background knowledge, sharing a personal connection I have with the text and inviting personal connections.


This fits with my theme because the brother thinks his sister's pet is boring and wishes for any number of more exciting choices until he gets to play with her pet and finds out it can be a lot of fun after all.
There is a little bit of rivalry and some lovely cooperation in this story, A girl and her guinea pig play with her brother who wishes he also had a pet.
