Does your family love pets? Mine does. Some of our favorite read-aloud books focus on some familiar (and not so familiar) furry friends.
The House of a Million Pets by Ann Hodgman. If you've ever pictured yourself as the crazy pet person with a boatload of animals, you must read this book. Hodgman writes about her numerous pets, from her dachsunds (which includes one of the funniest scenes I've ever read) to her prairie dogs to her bulbul, Quaker (read the book to find out what that is).
I, Jack by Patricia Finny. Hi! I am Jack! I am a golden retriever! I like you! Do you like me? Oh, I like you HUGE AMOUNTS! Do you want to read about me? Do you? I hope you DO!
Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat. Although you may disapprove of Mowat's youthful means of acquiring (and raising) his pet owls, there are scenes in this book that may make you pee your pants, you will laugh so hard. Well, at least that's how I felt. But I didn't actually pee my pants. In case you were wondering. Not that I'd tell you if I actually did.
