The Pet Project-Cute and Cuddly Vicious Verses by Lisa Wheeler (2013)

I enjoyed The Pet Project because I like rhyming verse, I also appreciate the many ways I could use it in a classroom, whether it be through science; looking at inquiry, or in language arts; exploring persuasive writing or poetry. I enjoyed these first-person poems and appreciate that kids will really get the jokes and parents will appreciate the book as it fosters an interest in science.  Lisa’s blog is also a great resource for the many books she has written, with many reviews, guides and classroom activities. http://www.lisawheelerbooks.com/home.html
