Praise for Being Kind to Animals:
“Animals are a major part of our lives, be they, household companions, in a country corral, or scampering through a nearby wood. This entry in the Read and Discover Social Studies series (4 titles) provides a gentle guide to considerate behavior around all kinds of animals, domesticated and wild. The first section focuses on pets, giving tips on interaction and care. The next extends to behavior around animals in their natural habitats, suggesting that the best way to care for living things is to look after the planet. Margins of spare text are outweighed by large, splashy photos featuring a variety of critters, from common chickens to cuddly chinchillas. Back matter includes suggestions to improve reading comprehension and vocabulary, and a complete word list offers fledgling readers help with fluency.” —Booklist
