The Third Street Pets rule their neighborhood! Harry is a smart cat with no hair. Tiger is a kitten, but don’t call her a baby! Baz is a loud parrot who wants to be famous. Oscar is a nearsighted dog who borrows people’s glasses. Pippa is a huge dog who’s always hungry.

Together, they keep their neighborhood safe from a smelly skunk and a rival group that’s giving pets a bad name. They save a baby, go on a TV show, and deal with the horrors of Fourth of July fireworks.

If you and your students liked the Super-Wild series, you’ll like Pets Rule! Each book:
  • is a humorous, one-plot story.
  • has highly cohesive text and natural dialogue—if pets could talk.
  • draws 95% of its vocabulary from the 1,200 most commonly used words in the English language, with an emphasis on sight and decodable words.
