Parakeets by Kathryn Steven, s

This is a non-fiction book for early-middle elementary readers about how to care for their parakeet(s). I would recommend it for a child to read before he or she gets a parakeet for a pet in their household. The book contains basic information about parakeets, such as what they like to eat, how you should hold them, how long they live, what will scare them, etc. It is not a complete parakeet care book, as the author clarifies in the introduction. Rather, it is a book to help young readers on their way to understanding and eventually in time being able to care for their new pet.
This is an interesting read for any young person or beginning reader interesting in parakeets. There are lots of colorful pictures and a glossary defining words from the text that some readers may have trouble with.
