Nice book for kids who have pets or want pets

This book combines common sense pet care and understanding with some science to answer questions kids might have about their pets. The book contains 50 activities to do with your pet and focuses on common domestic animals--dogs, cats, fish etc. After your child performs the activity or experiment, the authors talk about what the results mean...how a sense of smell or hearing led to the result. This is a nice book for kids who are curious about why their pets do what they do.
