The beginner's pet care manual for children fascinated by these sweet and friendly little lizards. Written by pet writing duo Tristan Pulsifer and Jacquelyn Elnor Johnson, co-authors of the popular I Want A Pet series for readers age 8 to 12. A lively, practical and fun how-to for kids about how to give loving, responsible care to this intriguing new family pet!
Is your child begging for an unusual pet? Little leopard geckos are a popular and easy-care lizard reptile pet for children 8-12. Why?
This chapter book tells young readers ages 8 to 12 (or grades 3 to 7) just what it's like to have a pet leo and keep them safe, healthy and happy in your home or classroom.
Many kids are fascinated by reptiles, but most don't make good pets. One of the few exceptions is a little Gecko lizard. They are friendly and relatively easy to keep healthy and happy as a pet.
Little Leos are cute, gentle, fun, easy to keep and fascinating to get to know! They don't need a lot of attention or care. Kids as young as eight or nine can learn to be responsible for and to give good care to their pet Leopard Gecko, with just a bit of supervision from parents or teachers.
