Pets may not have words, but they can communicate. This book invites children to pay attention to the cues animals give with their barks, growls, purrs, and swishing tails.

Throughout, children learn how to love pets gently—because pets are for loving, after all. Grades PreK-3. [9" x 9"... 32 pages]

And, when the order is sealed and ready to ship, we stamp the package with our traditional red "HANDLE WITH ENTHUSIASM" stamp.

Our customers tell us... That we are pretty good at what we do. And we ought to be! We've been dispatching books to all corners of the U.S. since 1978. It will not be an accident that your books, therapeutic games, CDs, or DVDs will arrive in perfect condition. We make sure they will.
