If your kids don’t want an ordinary pet like a cat or dog, then this book has a few suggestions for those that are a bit unusual and what one has to do to make sure that the pet is relatively happy. How about a bug? A moth, ants, grasshoppers, praying mantis, scorpions, spiders, centipedes and beetles are among those suggested. While this is not a how-to book, there are a few comments about what might be required to keep your pet happy as well as some things not to do. For example, an ant farm needs a drop of water daily and sugar water every week. For a grasshopper be sure and put a piece of wire mesh over the tank.
