Top Ten Tuesday: Books We’ve Reviewed About Pets


Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Yes, I’m stretching this week’s prompt a little bit. I’m doing it because I love seeing those displays in bookstores that group all sorts of books together based on something they have in common.

In this case, pets are featured in all of these stories which is something I love reading about. You can learn so much about someone by observing the way they treat the animals in their lives.

Here are ten books we’ve reviewed about characters who have one or more pets.

    A Room with a Zoo by Jules Feiffer is about a girl who adopts all these animals. It a really cute kids book I read when I was young.

  21. Cute and refreshing freebie topic. I love reading books that have animals as characters. Sorry I am getting back to you so late. The week got away from me. -Anne@HeadfullofBooks
