Everyone chooses a pet for different reasons. Some are selected for companionship, some for ease of care, and others because they are just too adorable to do otherwise. The rubber chicken fits into all three categories. They are quiet, nearly odorless, and have cute facial expressions. Caring for them, feeding them, and providing housing for them is quite effortless compared to other pets. They are inexpensive to purchase, do not take up much space, and never make a mess. In addition to all of these positive qualities, they are cute, cuddly, and always possess endearing personalities. How could you go wrong?

The Care and Feeding of Rubber Chickens: A Manual was created because there is a dearth of how-to books available explaining how to properly care for these lovable pets. Although the manual is brief, we hope it will act not so much as a definitive resource on these amazing creatures, but more as a beginner's guide as you take your first tentative steps on the amazing and rewarding journey of bringing rubber chickens into your life.

Note: A companion book to the how-to guide, The Care and Feeding of Rubber Chickens: A Novel, is also available.

A primer, an owner’s manual, a field guide, and more, My Dog! is the complete book for every child who has a dog—whether it’s a brand-new puppy or adopted mutt, or a beloved pooch who’s been in the family for years. And it couldn’t be more kid-friendly, with its customizable cover (paste in a picture of your dog), tabbed chapters, and a pull-out dry-erase dog care chart.

Written by Michael J Rosen, author of Kids’ Best Dog Book, and dubbed a “fidosopher” by The Washington Post, My Dog! covers everything from the basics of handling, feeding, and grooming to history, lore, and the kinds of fun facts kids will always remember (dogs have a sense of smell a million times better than ours; the oldest dog on record, Bluey, lived to be 29). It tells kids how to train their dogs, with illustrations—including action commands like Sit, Stay, Come, and Go to Your Place, and behavioral commands like Speak and Thank-You. There are the simple health checks kids can do. A How to Speak Dog section to insure that kids and dogs remain best friends—including why a raised, wagging tail doesn’t always mean “I’m happy,” and the important difference between a Yelp! and a Yowl! Even a recipe for Carob “Cocoa” for kids and dogs to bond over after a brisk winter walk.

Included with the book is a field guide to 75 breeds of the most popular and family-friendly dogs kids are likely to meet—each illustrated with a gorgeous full-color photograph and profiled with essential facts, including behavioral insights that make it an invaluable guide to choosing a family pet.
