A menagerie of funny animal buddies romp through the Pet Parables and discover that it's fun to get along! Children will identify with the familiar antics of these fuzzy and feathered pals and the bumps they hit on the road to friendship. 48 pages, hardcover.

REVIEW FOR PARENT: Being a cat lover, this reviewer loved the first pet parable. Neta Jackson shares a valuable lesson about acceptance and differences through the lives of three cats. One cat is a very opinionated Siamese, the second a mixed breed cat and the third, a struggling alley cat. Children will find that looks are definitely deceiving when choosing friends.

In the second story, children will meet Grumble. One of six ducks, Grumble definitely lives up to his name. Parents and children will be delighted to read how Grumble learns her lesson about complaining too much! -- aKidzfaith
