Rollicking verse and exuberant illustrations explore every aspect of pet ownership: feeding time, coming up with a name, pet shops, animal shows, pet "beauty parlors," and waiting at the veterinarian. With a lot of affection and a bit of irony, it covers the wonderful aspects of having a pet (cuddling, playing) to the not-so-wonderful (cleaning up poop, dealing with escapes), making this an excellent choice for young children who have just started to clamor for a dog, cat, or other animal of their very own. The book's whimsical drawings take the edge off some of its more sobering themes: pets get hurt; they cost money to feed and care for, and more.

It’s bedtime on the Ark. The boat is finished, the animals are on board, and everyone is ready for a good night’s rest. But how is a little boy to sleep in a huge boat that rocks and sways as the floodwaters rise? Soon, rolling thunder and crashing lightning force Eber out of his warm bed, down the dark hall, and into Grandpa Noah and Grandma Nora’s bed. As they all snuggle down, Grandma and Grandpa realize Eber’s hair is awfully tickly, and aren’t his toenails a little . . . long? Could it be that Eber isn’t the only one afraid of the storm? Enchanting, colorful illustrations enhance this lively retelling of the Ark tale.
