“Wacky things pets do” is filled with weird facts about different types of animals that are sometimes kept as pets. Did you know that horses can sleep standing up? Or that rabbits can get cavities from eating too many carrots?  Or that ferrets dance around when they’re happy? Each page has a different fact about animals from salamanders to cats and super bright and funny illustrations of pet owners interacting with their pets. Marta Sorte’s illustrations are simple, bright, and humorous and were my favorite part of the book.  Aimed at grades 3 – 5, this short book is not necessarily a must buy for your book collection, but is a fun purchase for kids who love fact books.
