NOTES
Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience! Different pets have different needs. But every pet deserves love. Discover how children in one neighborhood care for their pets in this charming tale. Pairs with the nonfiction title, I Care for My Pet "What are some pets that a child might have? How might they care for this? This beautifully illustrated text helps to identify the answer to these questions for emergent readers. Part of the "I Care" series of leveled texts, this book supports readers in learning ways to function within the world. This is a single text within the set, which pairs both fiction and nonfiction texts for readers to experience both genres at early ages. Each text incorporates repetition of lines to support emergent readers as they participate in the act of reading. The high-quality text allows readers to use the pictures to help figure out the story, if they complete a good picture walk prior to reading. This specific text is a non-fiction text level A with lots of great characteristics for this developmental level. It presents opportunities for readers to engage with a supplemental discussion of the pets within the text, as well as to gain the context of care each pet needs. The illustrations contain a diverse representation of characters in both race and gender. Additionally, it integrates an apartment complex as the home for all the characters. While this is a great text, the inclusion of a table of contents might be a bit premature and unnecessary. Reviewer Rating: 5" -Children's Literature "This series of early readers includes topics ranging from nature walks and pet care to helping others and practicing self-care. Featuring repetitive sentence structures and sight words, the books are designed for new and developing readers. Activities and narratives are described in short, simple sentences to help build early literacy skills. Colorful illustrations support each action, making it easy for new readers to identify what is happening. Each title ends with a question encouraging readers to think more about what they have read; for instance, 'Can you think of a time you helped a friend?' A segment titled 'Did You See It?' shows three images from the text, and an index of these and other words used in the story rounds out the back matter. VERDICT Recommended for school and public libraries."-School Library Journal
