Reviews for Extreme Pets [Series]: Axolotls and Tarantulas

I liked the idea of extreme pets and I thought the ones you chose were really interesting. I had never heard of an axolotl until I read about it in your book. Another interesting thing was that you chose ... unusual pets and it felt like I was reading [2] books in one. I liked that you also had photos of each pet so I could see what they actually looked like. It is great to have extra information and the websites at the end of each section were really helpful to someone who wants to know more. If this were an e-book, the links would be active and a teacher could click on the link in their classroom to immediately show the students more about the pet.
