Marilyn Courtot - Children's Literature

I bet you like to be hugged and cuddled, and so do many pets. It is a way of showing them that you care. In this "Compass Point Early Reader," Level B book, kids stroke their cats on their fur, pet a turtle on its shell and pat a horse and then hop on for a ride. There are even some imaginary pets like the giant friendly dinosaur and a big red alien who returns the affection with a big squeeze. The Parent's Page gives advice about owning and caring for pets and even has suggestions for creating a non-living ideal pet for those who may have allergies or restrictions regarding pet ownership. The concluding page contains a word list (54 unique in this text) and a brief introduction to the author and illustrator. 2002, Compass Point,
