Wackiest White House Pets

Title: Wackiest White House Pets
Author: Gibbs Davis
Illustrated by: David A. Johnson
Publisher: Scholastic Press (2004)
Genre: Nonfiction Intermediate
Age Range: 3-6
Summary: All of the white house pets were different. They were called the wackiest pets because they had the cleanest teeth, they were most grizzly, most talkative, snappiest, tiniest, biggest ears, luckiest pet, most secret pets, biggest menagerie, most wholesome, best gardener, most precious, most suspicious, and best selling. All of these pets had their own uniqueness with different presidents. Gibbs Davis pulled the wackiest pets together to go along with the wackiest presidents.

Response: This book was really funny and entertaining. Children will love this book and will enjoy the humor used with the animals. This book left me without any feeling. It is one of those books you can take it or leave it. I think this book is for younger boys with those humorous and crazy minds. I would have this on my classroom shelf, but I wouldn't take the time to read it to the class. The book was funny, but it wasn't a great learning experience for the children to read.
