50 Wacky Things Pets Do

This book is so cool! I already recommended to one of my friends who has a 4 year old son. Kids love animals and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun for both a parent and kid to read this together.
The book gives 50 interesting facts about different animals in a fun language and pictures. There's a big variety, and really interesting facts to enjoy.
It could be even used to make your kid to love animals if he/she's scared of them.
I enjoyed it even myself, I would recommend it definitely.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for granting a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is such an appealing book! Children who love their pets, and animals in general, will enjoy the short entries that explain why animals do the things that they do. There are entries about cats, dogs, horses, pigs, ferret...snakes. You get the idea. The illustrations are bright and appealing. This is a book that a child can read alone but that adults will also enjoy. I kept shouting out facts to my husband as I read this and I am about as adult as I ever will be!

This is such an adorable book for young/middle aged children to teach them fun facts about all sorts of pets. This might be a good book to read with them to help them choose which pet to get, or just even if you have any curious animal loving children. I loved it! The illustrations were bright, all the paged were colorful and fun, and the book was written simple. Perfect for younger aged children.

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Some interesting facts like seahorses eating 3000 shrimps a day! Illustrations are nothing original but they are not bad. I think this could be a nice before sleep book, read one a day and learn something new. There were somethings even I didn't knew and nice to learn for a my 4 year old ! Also some chapter names are funny :)

Beautiful illustration with educative explanations of pets behavior. Excellent book to introduce kids to pets before adoption or a companion book for classroom activities.

It's a funny book both for children and parents, and makes learning about animals much easy and insightful. The texts are simple yet good enough for a child to memorize and the illustrations equally attractive. An useful activities book for both children and parents, as well as educators.

Very short chapters with great info the kids will love about a topic they can relate to and witness in real life. Illustrations are fun, colorful and relevant. My students will love this one.

50 Wacky Things Pets Do is an interesting book for children. The trivia in the book is intriguing, and there are plenty of fun illustrations to break up the text. I think this book would be particularly good for reluctant readers due to the small sections of text, pictures, and kid-friendly subject matter. Kids will also love that a wide variety of pets are covered. What a fun book!

I received an advance reading copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was not obligated to write a positive review.

"50 Wacky Things Pets Do" is a fun book of facts about the strange things our pets might do that we just don't quite understand! Will touching a toad give you warts? Do ferrets act like pirates? Does the male seahorse really give birth to babies? These are just some of the questions that this fascinating book answers. Children will learn many fun facts reading this book, for instance rabbits respond to fear by freezing their bodies and not moving at all, and that rats really are clean critters!
The bright illustrations that accompany all of the interesting facts about the animals in our world bring to life this book and all of the creatures mentioned within the pages. Along with each wacky thing a pet does that is listed, there are additional facts for curious readers to learn more about each animal! This book is sure to entertain and educate young readers about the pets we have in our lives! This book would make a wonderful addition to any home or school library and is essential for all pet lovers!

Animal lovers will enjoy “50 Wacky Things Pets Do.” I wasn’t expecting so much nonfiction information, so I was pleasantly surprised.

A survey of fifty things that pets do which may make their human owners chuckle or scratch their heads, but have a perfectly reasonable explanation from the pet’s perspective.

With attractive cartoon illustrations and a wide array of pets represented, young animal lovers should eat this up. It is actually a really good resource for pet owners as curious behaviors are explained and tips for how best to care for a wide variety of pets are given. Highly recommended for a family considering getting a pet. Which strange pet behavior can you put up with best? Also recommended for curious kids.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is an adorable but educational book for the little ones who love animals, or if you are tying to decide on a pet. The book features 50 different things pets do. All of them are something strange, funny, or in some cases yucky habits for each pet. You also get a short More about section on each pet. There really cute and colorful illustrations for each pet featured throughout the book.

The kids loved looking at the pictures, and learning about why I dog has the habit of eating the car poop, and why the dogs sniff butts. They have also decided we need about a half dozen more pets from looking through this book.

I received this book from the Author or Publisher via Netgalley.com to read and review.

50 Wacky Things Pets Do by Heidi Fiedler is a kid’s guide to unusual facts about our furry animal family members. Each of the fifty facts is accompanied by cute illustrations, and a little sidebar box. All kinds of pets are discussed, from the common pets like cats and dogs, to more exotic pets like ferrets and reptiles. This is definitely a book to prompt the curious-minded child to investigate further, as several of my cubs have done! We all enjoyed this book, and it's the perfect pick for any child who likes science. It would make a great classroom teaching aid too!

I absolutely loved ‘50 Wacky Things Humans Do: Weird & amazing facts about the human body!’ so naturally I wanted to read about wacky pets as well.

With information ranging from gross (toads eat the skin they shed) to amazing (salamanders can breathe and drink through their skin) this book provides interesting facts and theories about various furry, feathered and scaly pets.

I think the writing style would be engaging for kids and the bite sized chunks of information get the point across without getting into information overload territory. While I already knew some of the facts, others were new to me. Then there were those that I wasn’t sure if I already knew or not but still found fascinating, including the potential for rabbits to get cavities from eating carrots.

A couple of my favourites facts were:

“Goldfish use teeth in their throats to crush their food. They don’t have stomachs. Instead they break up food and absorb nutrients in their intestines.”

“Chameleon eyes can move independently, so they can look in two different directions at once.”

Marta Sorte’s illustrations are so cute! My favourites were the dancing ferret and the baby seahorse getting ready to chow down.

There were a few instances in this book where the answer to why animals do a certain behaviour was that we really don’t know or that it may be because of one of several possible reasons. I found this frustrating but other readers probably wouldn’t.

I enjoyed this read and would happily reread it. Overall though, I preferred ‘50 Wacky Things Humans Do’.

Thank you to NetGalley and Walter Foster, Jr., an imprint of Quarto Publishing Group, for the opportunity to read this book.
