        Gr 2-4-This collection of exotic pets introduces these animals, covering history, natural habitat, care, and characteristics both positive and negative. Restrictions on ownership and any special housing and health care requirements are carefully pointed out. The animals' personalities are described, and information on bonding and communication is provided. A short list of "Things to Think About..." encapsulates all the issues and concludes each book. Supplementary material includes a nicely organized set of "Before & After Reading Activities" and "Show What You Know" questions that can be used for reading comprehension instruction. Photos frequently incorporate humans along with the animals. Each volume includes a spread with a full-body shot of the animal with body parts and physical traits identified. "Fun Fact" and "Pet Pointer" boxes appear where needed. VERDICT Well written, with a clean design, these titles will be useful for educators and popular with potential pet owners.

        Starred review from September 1, 2015
        Grades 3-6 *Starred Review* After flipping through the utterly adorable full-color photos of cute creatures in the You Have a Pet What?! series, youngsters might want to ditch their doggies and rush to their nearest exotic-pets breeder. Before they're out the door, however, make sure they get a load of the comprehensive text, which is packed with practical, clearly written information. Though the photos in Mini Pig might be the cutest of the bunch, the text wisely warns readers about how big mini pigs can grow (100 lbs.!), their potentially destructive behavior, and their very long life span. Though most kids will be (thankfully) dissuaded by the amount of specialized care these animals require, the beautifully reproduced photos of oddball pets are undeniably appealing, and there are enough fascinating and informative facts to keep readers enthralled. Highly recommended.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
