Whether they're furry, fluffy, feathery, fishy, or festooned with scales, there's a lot to love about what your pet brings to your life. Give them a little extra back! Maybe a gentle grooming session, or a special treat, or even reading some poetry with them! Just taking a moment to be in the moment with your pet is a gift. This list features several books of poetry for kids in our collection, and ends with a few selections for older readers that focus on the highs and lows of pets and animal companions.
