Review:

There are plenty of people on the planet who love and own pets. Sometimes they have some very peculiar pets. In this curious little book, readers will see some of the cutest pets owned by some very famous people.

Dorothy Parker was a famous writer and her very unfamous but interesting pet was a crocodile. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote music and his unusual pet was a starling. Georgia O’Keeffe was a famous painter of flowers and her fur kids were chow chows. Isaac Newton was a mathematician, physicist and astronomer who fancied a cute yet clumsy dog.

This guide is perfect for the pet lover and admirerer of some very famous people. Interesting illustrations of these famous folks and their pets are found on each page. Short but descriptive bios introduce the life story and accomplishments of some of the greatest minds in literature, science, art and music. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to educate young readers who love learning about the rich and famous.
