Choosing My New Pet

Book One Out Now!

Adding a new pet is a big decision, and choosing the right one matters. This beautifully illustrated picture book takes children and families through the most important question any new pet owner faces — not just which animal you want, but which one your family can truly care for.

From playful puppies and cuddly kittens to chirpy birds, gentle rabbits, lovable lizards and friendly fish, it helps kids understand that every pet is different, every pet needs care, and the best pet is the one that fits your family's life.

Written by Sara Furlong & Charmaine Hammond. Illustrated by Kidzsmart Communications.

Which Pet is Right for My Family?

Five children and a dog, holding various pets including birds, fish, and a hamster.

“Can we get a pet? Pleeease?”

A QUESTION EVERY PARENT HEARS

It's one of the biggest questions a family can face — and it's rarely as simple as yes or no. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, reptiles: every animal needs something a little different, and so does every family. The Pet Keepers Club was built to help kids (and the grown-ups fielding the question) work through it together, learning patience, empathy and responsibility along the way.

Four children and one adult gathered around a table, looking at and pointing to a book, in a classroom or library setting.

READ TOGETHER

Made for reading side-by-side

Every pet story in the book ends with a page made for grown-ups and kids to read together — a few questions, a few things to notice, and a chance to talk about what caring for an animal really takes.
