Tabby or toucan? Airedale terrier or Angora rabbit? Python or parakeet? If you didn’t have a pet as a child, you probably wanted one. Picking Your Pet features 300 pets from around the world, from siamese cats and labrador dogs to thoroughbred ponies, terrapins, parrots, guinea pigs and tropical fish. With detailed information boxes on the size, lifecycle and origins of each animal, this book includes engaging text on the history of each species and breed, illustrated with an outstanding colour artwork.
