Dog Years: Milestone For A Man
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Pet lovers — people who’ve shared their lives with a particularly
special dog, cat, or other similarly furry critter — would agree:

stick around. Pets have lives that are altogether too short.

little worried. Is it career-threatening or is it just a minor thing in
the Major Leagues?

Extreme Animals: How The Toughest Creatures Survive
Itty & Bitty Is Big Fun
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer

to do. Grown-ups don’t always listen to what you have to say.

except for two miniature horses.

Every morning before school, your mom or
dad probably checks the weather so they can

You might put on a sweater today or maybe
you’ll grab something to make you feel cooler.

Not By A Long Shot
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer
When an athlete begins to age and bones begin to creak,
tendons start to protest, and competition gets harder to handle,
he (or she) calls a press conference and announces
impending retirement. Someday, you might see him (or her)
again, maybe coaching or announcing. We jokingly say they
were “put out to pasture.” But what about those who are literally
put there?

The Perfect Nest: A Really Cute Picture Book
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer
If you could have the perfect bedroom with any design in exactly
the way you wanted, how would you make your room up?
Would you get a different bed or maybe add one for
sleep-overs? Would you hang things from the ceiling, paint the
walls all sorts of weird colors, or include lots of TVs with video
games? Would you ever want to leave your perfect bedroom?

What do you do when it’s time for bed? Maybe you take a

years ago, the rat came up as the Number One least-liked

Just One More Thing, Doc
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer
The things we do for our furry children. When Fido or Fluffy is
failing, we bundle them up with love and trundle them off to the
puppy physician or the kitty caretaker for a resolution to what
ails ‘em. But imagine if Fido is a 1,000-pound bull or Fluffy is a
pony with a sore foot. You can’t exactly fit them in the car, so you
phone the vet for a housecall.

Buffalo In The House

Back when you were a kid, was your love of animals the source
of much exasperation for your ever-patient mother? Did you
have pet frogs, snakes, birds, a dog, a cat, longed for a pet
skunk, would’ve had a squirrel if you could’ve caught one,
begged for a donkey or a horse, and tried to sneak a mouse in
your bedroom once? Well, did you ever have a pet bison?

The World Without Us
Reviewed By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Take a quick peek outside your window and check out the
scenery. Are there trees and grass all around, or do you see
lots of buildings? Does the land gently slope here, or are there
craggy rocks over there? Now, think a minute. Can you imagine
what your corner of the world might have looked like to the first
person who ever saw it? And would it go back to being that way
if — poof! — you suddenly disappeared?
