REVIEW:
The site is divided into four main areas: Animated Journeys, Paws for Pets, Pet Stories, and Kids Corner. Students will particularly enjoy learning about how to care for dogs, cats, birds, or whatever their pet may be in the interactive Animated Journeys. Each record has a link to more, detailed information of interest to teachers and parents. The Kids Corner features work sheets and coloring pages devoted to teaching children the basics of caring for their pets. Included at the site are various articles on pet care by a veterinarian and pet stories submitted by users.
