Storytime @ Home: Pets

Five children's stories about animals.

In this charming classic story, Harry, the little white dog with black spots, runs away before bath time and plays outside until he changes into a black dog with white spots, Harry the Dirty Dog. Includes Spanish version of Harry the Dirty Dog, plus Panama (two friends abandon their happy home to search for Panama, the land of their dreams) in English and Spanish.

When Buzz captures a fly to enter in The Amazing Pet Show, his parents and the judges tell him that a fly cannot be a pet, but Fly Guy proves them wrong.

A fly changes some minds in this tale, first, by astounding the lad who captures him in a jar, then, thanks to some fancy flying, by convincing the lad's parents, the judges of the Amazing Pet Show, that he's more than just a nuisance. A pop-eyed, self-confident mite, Fly Guy's up to any challenge.

Fiona has no time today, not even to go to the bathroom. She is in a big hurry to show off the volcano she and Felix made for show-and-tell. Just as the volcano erupts... oops!

"A moving tale about friendship, new beginnings, and cats"--

After moving to a tiny house, a little girl is forbidden to get a pet until she introduces her parents to microscopic tardigrades, also called water bears.
