Book Review- Can I Keep It? Small Pets Guide

I absolutely love this book.  While the publisher appears to be promoting this book for children,  it is written for anyone of any age who has an interest in a wide variety of small and unusual animals as pets  It does not read like its for children. The care information is detailed and educational  in a friendly and light heart manner.

Every page has photos and/or cool graphics.  39 Cool insects, reptiles, small mammals, amphibians, spiders, millipedes, crabs, snails, shrimp,  and more are profiled with care information and housing, including instructions for building your own housing in some cases.

The author gives his personal experience, “My observation” tips next to the reference information.  I found it fascinating.  Where else can you find information on the care of a pet Vampire crab, a Mombo Assassin bug,  Hissing cockroach, Russian Dwarf Hamster, or a Chinese fire-bellied newt?

If your child loves animals and is looking for pets that are a bit unusual, or if you want to learn more about these wonderful creatures, then this book is for you. You will not be disappointed.
