If pets could talk, what would they say? Maybe Fur is for petting, backs are for scratching, noses are for nuzzling and tails are not for pulling! Toddlers and pets belong together as long as toddlers don t chase, grab, squeeze, yank, and tease. In simple words and delightful illustrations, this book teaches the basics of kindness to animals: careful handling, awareness, safety, and respect. It also includes helpful tips for parents and caregivers.School Library JournalPreS-This board book can be used to teach preschoolers the proper way to interact with pets. They will learn that it's OK to scratch, nuzzle, or cuddle an animal, but not to squeeze, tease, or pull tails. The book also advises them to watch and listen for warning signals when an animal might be saying, "Hands off." The text is brief and to the point. The broad illustrations use a thick black outline to create characters that are friendly and expressive. Two concluding pages offer further tips for caregivers on how to share the book and encourage children to treat animals kindly.-Martha Topol, Traverse Area District Library, Traverse City, MI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
