Illustrated by Jean Craighead George
Audience: Intermediate (4th-6th grade)
Category: Non-Fiction

Have you ever had a tarantula or a
skunk for a pet? Did you know that you
can teach a crow to talk and that
turtles “talk” by tapping each other on
the back? You can find out even more
fun stuff in this wonderful collection
of short stories about the author and
her family’s variety of wild pets.
George shares her pets’
hilarious antics like her screech
owl that loved to take showers. George
has used her pets not
only in this book but also as
inspiration for characters in
her wildly popular children’s fiction.
This book is a fantastic read
for anyone who loves George’s fiction
or who loves pets in general.
