Summary: Enjoyable read-along tale for children
Comment: Marsha Hayles has crafted a book that children will enjoy as a read-along tale. She tells the story of Tabitha, also known as Tabby, who lives on a farm. Tabby has a pet horse that she teaches a trick to; the horse in turn has a pet cow, the cow has a pet pig, and so on throughout the farm.

The text of the story flows along easily for children to understand. They will enjoy imitating the sounds the animals make as each pet learns a trick. Scott Nash's illustrations, while cartoonish at times, are vivid, large, and colorful, as well as engaging. The pictures complement that story and are sure to draw children into the tale and follow along. "Pet of a Pet" should be a welcome storytime entry, but due to its sometimes-wordy text should be at the beginning of the program. For this reason the 4 to 6 age range is the recommended target.

Summary: Great Message
Comment: As a first grade teacher in an urban setting I find that I'm constantly preaching the merits of treating each other with love and respect, well I'm happy to report that I've found a great book that gets my point across in a much more effective way. Pet of a Pet by Marsha Hayles (Penguin Putnam Publishers)is a delightful kid friendly read that my students embraced.

This book is funny, clever, creative and inspirational. It sends a message of love that is sometimes hard to find these days.

Summary: Farmyard Fun
Comment: This is a great book for kids who love, and are loved by, their pets. There's a running joke in this circle of pets that the "owners" reveal themselves in how they see their pets. That might be a thought-provoking lesson on the nature of love, but in this tale it just becomes all fun and silliness. That said, my nieces and nephew love it. The pattern of the words and story is great for beginning readers. And for the adults who will be reading it to them again and again, there are extra details in the word play and pictures to keep us going.
