内容简介 Find out about clever cats, daft dogs and very unlucky turtles! Children love pets and there are plenty to choose from in this fun-filled collection of stories! A cat discovers that humans are good to have around, a dog rescues his owner from an embarrassing situation, a turtle takes an unexpected trip and much more. Read about ponies, gerbils, snakes and even a herd of giraffes. It's no wonder that King Kevin can't decide what would make his perfect pet! With contributions from popular, prize-winning authors such as Dick King-Smith, Joan Aiken, Helen Cresswell, Judy Blume, Betsy Byars and Ted Hughes, and endearing illustrations which perfectly capture the humour of the stories, this is an anthology to delight any young animal-lover.
专业书评 From School Library Journal Grade 2-6?A delightful collection of previously published stories about pets?even monkeys and giraffes. Contributors include Judy Blume, Beverly Cleary, Betsy Byars, and Margaret Mahy. One of the standouts, Joan Aiken's Arabel's Raven, stars a ravenous bird who gobbles up everything in the refrigerator including a half-pound of New Zealand cheddar and a black-currant tart. The selections are short enough for reading aloud and should inspire children to write about their own pets. The black-and-white cartoon illustrations add appeal. The silly nature of these stories makes the book different from Cynthia Rylant's Every Living Thing (Bradbury, 1985), in which the pets are realistic and the tales carry a message. Pair this collection with Michael Rosen's Purr...Children's Book Illustrators Brag About Their Cats (1996) and Speak! Children's Book Illustrators Brag about their Favorite Dogs (1993, both Harcourt) for a surefire booktalk. Buy a copy for your read-aloud shelf, too.?Linda L.

Among the noted authors contributing to this collection of 16 simple stories about pets of all kinds are Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Joan Aiken, Margaret Mahy, Betsy Byars, and Dick King-Smith. Readers and listeners will delight in Ribsy, a dog that pulls teeth, and in Mortimer, the trapped raven that tries to eat itself out of a refrigerator. Children will suffer with Peter, who discovers that his two-year-old brother has eaten his pet turtle, and with Jeremy, who plans a funeral patterned after Great-Great-Aunt Maud's for his recently deceased gerbils. The stories are short and generously peppered with engaging black-and-white drawings by Michael Reid. Pet lovers will enjoy these tales.
