For Kids Ages 6–10 • 7-Book Series

My Pet and Me: every first pet deserves a book

A first pet is a child's first big responsibility — and one of childhood's best stories. Each book in this series pairs a kid-level care guide with keepsake pages the child fills in themselves, so the first year together becomes a book the family keeps forever.

Why care guide + keepsake?

Kids learn responsibility fastest when it's theirs. Each book teaches the real care jobs at a child's level — then hands over star charts, an adoption certificate, and memory pages that make the pet's first year the child's own project. Parents report the books living on the shelf long after the first year, as keepsakes.

Great for

  • The "can we PLEASE get a pet" conversation
  • Gotcha-day and birthday gifts
  • Building care routines that stick
  • Grandparents' bookshelves

Getting a puppy specifically?

Pair the kids' book with the family training plan — they're designed to work together.
