Caring for our animals and their environment

Caring for Your Animals and Their Environment is a delightful and educational book that teaches children the essential responsibilities of pet ownership. Lesley uses personal stories and photographs of her own animals, cats, dogs, birds, and more, to guide young readers through what animals need to live healthy, happy lives. From clean water and nutritious food to love, attention, and safe surroundings, this book helps children understand the emotional and physical needs of pets. It gently introduces concepts like animal welfare, environmental care, and the importance of routine. By comparing animals’ needs to those of humans, Lesley fosters empathy and accountability in young readers. The interactive Help Me Cope Activities at the end of the book encourage kids to reflect on how they care for animals in their own lives, identify areas for growth, and even create action plans to do better. Bright, engaging photos make it a joy to read and revisit, ideal for families, classrooms, and young animal lovers everywhere.
