Let Me Have a Goldfish!

We have all met the situation when our child is begging for a pet: a dog, a cat, a turtle, a rabbit, a goldfish or a giraffe. It doesn’t matter which. The main thing is to have a pet. Of course, there are many advantages in having a nice cuddly animal at home, but kids can’t always assess the responsibilities that come with taking care of a pet. Whatever promises they make, in the end the whole family will be involved in the process of feeding them, taking them to the vet or for a walk. It’s very useful to have a competent relative who knows all about animals. In this book Uncle Bert teaches the children about everything a pet needs to be happy when living in a family home. Full of funny (but 100% true!) information, this title helps us to decide whether we could really live with that animal in our house. The author of this humorous non-fiction story book is biologist, has countless pets and is an ambassador for responsible ownership.

Narrative non-fiction.
