Still, no one's ever seen anything quite like this pair before! But as
this happy couple proves, being a little unconventional can be a beautiful
thing. Witty, wonderful and slyly fun, it contains a lighthearted message
of tolerance. Included is a CD where the title song in sung by Peter,
Paul & Mary. Also included on the CD are "The Froggy Went A'Courtin'"
and "Inside", Color illustrations. 26 pages

Keeping Unusual Animals As Pets
by: Hewitt, Jef
This guide aims to provide readers with expert tips and advice on the
care and welfare of unusual invertebrates, reptiles and insects. Details
are given of 37 exotic creatures and how to provide the right environment,
with proper food, water and light. From centipedes (don't handle them--they're
poisonous; and don't try to keep more than one--they'll eat each other)
to the handsome red tomato frog and the blue-tongued skink, Hewitt describes
the living conditions and food required. Along with several species of
frogs and five additional invertebrates, he includes a number of salamanders,
lizards, snakes, and turtles. Hewitt's advice is sound, though a little
sparse; however, he does emphasize the ethical and legal responsibilities
involved in keeping unusual animals. The text is clear and simple, but
not childish, which makes this book appropriate for adults as well as
younger readers. Ages 12 & up. 128 pgs.
