A festival of friendship
From a devoted mutt giving "sloppy doggy kisses" to a tarantula munching happily on a cricket lunch, these lively poems celebrate the special friendship between kids and their pets!
Noted poet Lee Bennett Hopkins has edited or authored numerous books for children, including the I Can Read Books Hamsters, Shells, and Spelling Bees; A Pet for Me: Poems; and the ALA Notable Children's Book Surprises.
