Just adorable. Good information to share with the kids. This made me smile and giggle. Kids will love it.Good for parents to start putting the idea of responsibility and commitment into the minds of the children if they are considering a pet in the future. I know not everyone who reads this book is going to be getting a pet but I can't help myself... :)  (sorry!)If you are:The reality is much more than included in this book but it's a good start. A lot more research should occur before actually starting a search. Especially some on crate training, which is the best thing you can do for a puppy. I put a small blanket in the crate that we had pet the mom with, a clock that had the ticking sound (like a heartbeat) sat nearby, and I had the crate close by so I could reassure him if he got scared. It only took him two days to get the idea and only a couple of "accidents" before he had it down. It's so hard not to give in because of the crying :'(  but if you stick to it you won't regret it! Be sure to search pet rescue orgs and humane societies (+ zip code for your local places) and find the perfect fit for your family and maybe save a life :) Petfinder is helpful too. Pets are awesome; good luck!
