      Gr 2-4-Holub starts each of these series entries with a broad view of the featured animals and answers questions such as "How many different kinds of birds are there?" and "How do snakes move?" After addressing general questions, the author poses some inquiries for potential pet owners. "Are pet birds easy to take care of?" and "What should I know before getting a pet reptile?" Both books have interesting color photographs and illustrations; bright, colorful headings for the questions; and parenthetical pronunciation guides. The writing style is lively and informative. Like Julia Barnes's 101 Facts about Terrarium Pets (Gareth Stevens, 2002) and Angela Wilkes's Birds (Kingfisher, 2002), these attractive easy-readers are sure to be in constant circulation.-Heather Ver Voort, Washington West Elementary, Olean, NY

      This beginning reader addresses basic information about bird physiology, habits, and habitats. Chapter titles pose questions (Why do birds have feathers?), which are answered in the brief text. Well-chosen photographs are undermined by superfluous cartoon illustrations. Pronunciation guides and definitions are provided for some, but not all, unfamiliar words. The final pages discuss keeping birds as pets.
