The heavily illustrated books in this series are also helpful for older children seeking pet care information and advice. Barron's selection of titles in this large series covers every popular dog and cat breed, bird varieties, hamsters and other small caged animals, fish varieties for aquarium hobbyists, terrarium pets, and even reptiles, amphibians, and exotics. Each title features approximately 70 color photos and advises on purchasing, housing, feeding, health care--and where applicable, grooming and training.
