Peter’s Pets is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts, addressing Literacy.RI.K.5 and Literacy.L.K.1. Full-page photographs are paired with descriptive text, which explains each of Peter’s pets and what each likes or needs. A dog gets a ball, a rabbit eats a carrot, a cat drinks some water, a parrot plays with a new toy, a turtle takes a walk in the yard, and Peter’s hermit crab gets a new shell. This book should be paired with Caring for My Pet (9781448887101) from the Rosen Common Core Readers Program to provide the alternative point of view on the same topic.
