The My Pet & Me Series
Seven animals, one promise: your child learns to care for their first pet — and keeps a book of the whole first year, in their own handwriting.
Every book pairs a kid-friendly how-to guide with a keepsake memory book. Children read the care pages and fill in the milestones; a grown-up tip box on every topic gives parents the details. Kind, modern methods only — positive reinforcement and gentle handling throughout.
Jump to a pet:
A care guide and a time capsule in one
11 kid-friendly chapters
Feeding, body language, safe play, grooming and care — written for the child, with a grown-up tip box on every topic.
Photo & milestone pages
Space to tape in the first day home, the firsts that follow, and the first birthday.
An adoption certificate
Signed together on day one — plus a growth chart, star chart and health record to fill in by hand.
A promise to keep
Each book ends with the pet promise: what your child commits to, in their own words.
