After reading Oh, the Pets You Can Get!: All About Our Animal Friends from the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, discuss with the children how to take care of a class pet, such as a fish or hamster. Some of the children may have prior knowledge because they already have pets at home. Discuss the needs of pets, such as giving them food and water every day. This could be done in large group.
