Before Memorial Day I posted some books for pet lovers to read over the holiday.  I’ve learned about some children’s books that are great for families with children that are thinking about getting a pet.  One of my networking partners

RuthE Levy

of And Thou Shalt Read, pointed these out to me.  A book that teaches responsibility for a pet is When Life Gives You O.J. by Erica S. Perl.  This is the story of an 10 year old girl who wants a dog more than anything.  Her grandfather suggests she can show her parents she will be responsible by caring for a practice dog that is an orange juice container on a leash.

Another book that teaches lessons on responsibility is Koko’s Kitten, by Francine Patterson, the true story of a Gorilla that takes care of a kitten like it is her own.   Do you have a favorite kid’s book about pets?  Let us know.
