Amazon Hot New Children's Picture Books: For Children Who Want Pets and Parents Who Don't
Is your little one clamoring for a pet to cuddle this summer, and you just aren't quite there? This article Picture Books for Children Who Want Pets and Parents Who Don't | NYTImes.com featured some adorable books pertinent to such a situation, aimed at the 4 to 8 age group. We know the NYTimes hides behind a pay wall, so we will list the books below.
A Pet for Petunia written and illustrated by Paul Schmid is aimed at ages 3 to 7. Petunia knows she can take care of a pet, but what happens when the pet she most desires is a skunk?
Prudence Wants a Pet by Cathleen Daly and illustrated by Stephen Michael King for ages 4 to 8. Prudence is determined. She finds her own pet. It is a...branch. But Branch isn't exactly the pet of her dreams, and neither are Twig, Mr. Round (a car tire), or her baby brother Milo.
Gilbert Goldfish Wants a Pet by Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Bob Shea. Gilbert has almost everything his fishy heart could desire: a castle, a chest filled with treasure, and food that falls from the sky. But there's one BIG thing missing from his life: a pet. And so begins Gilbert's harrowing search for the perfect fishbowl companion.
Melvin and the Boy written and illustrated by Lauren Castillo. When a little boy sees a turtle basking in the sun at the park, he thinks he's found the perfect pet. But when they get home, the boy soon discovers that the only time the turtle comes out of his shell is at bath time. Is it possible that the turtle would be happiest back in the pond? After all, it's always bath time there!

Keep Harmful Contaminants Out of Your Aquarium -- Aqua Tongs
When we maintain an aquarium, we are responsible for the quality of the environment that keeps our fish, plants, invertebrates, and corals flourishing. It is important not to introduce any contaminants which can affect the health or even survival of the aquarium inhabitants.
Coralife Aqua Tongs were developed for such a purpose in marine and freshwater aquariums. They have a powerful grip for grasping large objects and precision control for small, delicate objects, making it possible to work safely in hard-to-reach areas of the aquarium. They are designed to last for the life of your aquarium.
Our friends over at PETCO.com are having a 17% off site-wide St. Paddy's Day sale (10% off food and litter) coupled with Free Shipping on orders over $65. The promotion code is lucky65.
Here's a look back at the super cool gear we dug up this past February for our super cool pets and the people they love. We are looking forward to spring and a marvelous March!
