Dessen, Ben2022
Book
From the tiniest ant, to the largest whale in the ocean, Ben Dessen cannot remember a time when he wasn't fascinated by animals. Pets make great companions and loyal friends. They love and accept us just the way we are. Growing up with pets teaches us how to be more gentle, patient and kinder to others. Opening our homes and hearts to pets can also help us care more about wildlife and the environment. Bringing a pet into your life can be the best experience ever, but it is one you need to take very seriously and carefully plan for. Whether you're looking to get your first pet, or you're an animal lover thinking about getting your next pet, this book is the ultimate tool for you. You'll find everything you need to plan the perfect Pet Proposal to pitch to the adults in your life. Learn about awesome animals for you and your family to love in the Pet Profiles - from cats, dogs and guinea pigs to lizards, snakes and turtles, and from stick insects to birds and fish. By understanding what an animal needs, you'll be able to give your special friend a safe, happy and healthy life. Life is better with pets!
