Pets are a key member of many children’s lives, and this jaunty guide helps kids understand their furry, feathery, and scaly companions even better. . . . In a humorous, conversational style, complemented by cartoon spot art, Rice explains such phenomena as why dogs message through pee (and how they align themselves with the north-south axis of the earth’s magnetic field to poo), why some cats go gaga for catnip, and why and how a bearded dragon would need to change colors.

Once you open Your Pets’ Secret Lives, you’ll be hooked. You’ll laugh so hard you snort. You’ll also learn the amazing science of what’s happening inside your house, outside in your backyard—and inside your pet. Who knew poop was so marvelously complex? And such an indispensable delicacy for your pet rabbit? Entomologist Eleanor Spicer Rice introduces young readers to the fascinating and weird biology and behavior of some of our most popular pets, from cats and canaries to . . . tarantulas. Your Pets’ Secret Lives is deeply informative, utterly surprising—and hilarious. Rob Wilson’s whimsical, spot-on illustrations are the perfect accompaniment.
