Amazing Pets & How To Keep Them Book Review And Giveaway (Sent by Wild Nature Press)

Wild Nature Press have two excellent book releases for children this spring and they've sent us a copy of each for review, plus I'll be giving away a copy to one of my readers. Amazing Pets & How To Keep Them is a beautiful hardback large scale book written by Stewart McPherson, and crammed with information and full colour images.

Perfect for any young nature lover, Amazing Pets lets you explore some of the more exotic and usual small creatures you can keep in your own home, sensibly and ethically, and gives you an idea of just what you'd need to look after them...

Recommended for readers aged around 8-12, Amazing Pets is split into sections, starting with 'Golden Rules'. This is a serious book for people who care about creatures and it's right that it starts with some simple rules to prevent anticipated errors which might end very badly.

Most of the Amazing Pets in this book are 'bugs' - Matises, Stick Insects, Butterflies & Moths, Beetles, Giant Millipedes, Triops and Giant Land Snails. Lovely.

The basics are covered, including what makes a creature part of the invertebrate or mollusc family, what they eat, how they grow, where they live naturally and tons more. Responsible petkeeping is always key and you aren't 'encouraged' as much as just given straightforward information.

My sons have found this book fascinating. My 10 year old keeps ants and would love something just a little bigger. There's so much information here that it can keep any youngster like him reading and learning for a long while. I can totally see the attraction. I now know a million facts about minibeasts and not-quite-so-mini beasts myself!

Amazing Pets & How To Keep Them is written by Stewart McPherson, and published by Wild Nature Press. Available to buy now 128 pages, priced £12.99rrp in large format full colour hardback from all good bookshops, including online at Amazon*. A really good book in our opinion at a very fair price. If Plants are more your thing, I've also reviewed Spectacular Plants & How To Grow Them.

We were sent our copy of Amazing Pets & How To Keep Them by Stewart McPherson for review. *Amazon links are affiliate, which means I earn a few pence as a thank you for my time if you order through my link, but you don't pay any extra. I've jumbled up some of the text on photos so that robbers don't pinch it!
