Pets may not have words, but they can communicate. Paying attention to an animal's cues—a joyful bark, a scary growl, a swishing tail—can help a child understand what the animal is "saying" and what an appropriate response might be. That's part of what this book is about. But mostly it's about showing children how to love pets gently—because pets are for loving, after all. Kids learn that teasing isn't nice, that they can choose to be kind to animals, and that if you want to touch someone else's pet, there's one important rule you should know: Ask the owner first! Read-along edition.

      PreS -This board book can be used to teach preschoolers the proper way to interact with pets. They will learn that it -s OK to scratch, nuzzle, or cuddle an animal, but not to squeeze, tease, or pull tails. The book also advises them to watch and listen for warning signals when an animal might be saying, -Hands off. - The text is brief and to the point. The broad illustrations use a thick black outline to create characters that are friendly and expressive. Two concluding pages offer further tips for caregivers on how to share the book and encourage children to treat animals kindly." -Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI"
