My First Big Book of Pets and Pet Care by Belinda Gallagher is an excellent way for young readers to learn about various domestic animals and how to care for them.

What I Liked: This 96-page book is filled with bright, engaging photographs and structured in a kid-friendly question-and-answer format. The vibrant photos are paired with helpful photo labels that help readers unpack details in each picture. The variety of animals included is a lot of fun. While it features typical house pets like dogs, cats, and bunnies, I especially enjoyed the sections on less conventional choices like goats and alpacas. As an added bonus, the book concludes with a helpful glossary and interactive quizzes.

My First Big Book of Pets and Pet Care is the perfect book to teach young readers everything they need to know about choosing and caring for a new pet.
