Sam's Exotic Pet Shop

What happens when a boy wanting to buy a dog enters a strange & exotic pet shop with a pushy salesman trying to sell monkeys, hyenas, crocodiles and even a whale? Lucky this boy knows his animals, and why a nocturnal kinkajou would keep him up all night, that his room is too small for a rebook to jump, why salt water crocodiles don't make good pets, and that whales eat krill...and where does a kid get plankton? What animals live in a troop, a pod, and a colony? What's the difference between a scavenger, carnivore and vegetarian? What's a crustacean, what's a marsupial? What makes a rodent a rodent, and lemurs and chimpanzees a primate? What's the biggest and smallest penguin and monkey? What's a pack animal, what's a yak? Learn about wild animals in a rhythmic, fun and informative way....and find out which animal the boy choses as his pet.
