Editorial Reviews

Animals of all kinds can get into trouble sometimes. This chapter book, one in the “National Geographic Chapters” series, tells the stories of three unique animals that each must learn how to curb their naughty behavior. The first story is about a kitten that loves to play, eat people food, and, unfortunately, bite her owners and any visitors they have. The second story is about an emu that loves shiny things and steals whatever he can from visitors to his home. Third is the story of a Westie who seems well behaved until the door is closed on her. Readers must complete each story to learn if there is, in fact, a remedy to the behaviors in each situation. Readers’ understanding of the history of the animal and other interesting facts is enhanced by asides about the animal in each chapter. Glossy, full-color pages make the book itself attractive to readers before they even dive into the text. A table of contents helps readers navigate to each part of the book, and a pronunciation guide for newly introduced words increases the confidence of newly independent readers. Readers can access an index and resources for further inquiry at the end of the book. Children who particularly enjoy reading about the antics of animals will enjoy the honest depiction of these true stories. Reviewer: Mary Pearl; Ages 6 to 11.
