Summer Reading:  2 new Ferret Children's Books

June 2022:   Summer is a great time to catch up on reading.  Whether by the pool, or in park with a picnic basket.  Two new books on ferrets are just right for young readers, which are reviewed, below:

---

My Name is Musky! A Ferret's Story - author Matty Guiliano; illustrator Morgan Spicer.
[Humane Press - ISBN: 978-0-578-53532-6;  2022]

Mr. Guiliano is a retired Animal Cruelty Officer, who conducted  thousands of investigations during his career in New Jersey.  

The book is about Musky, the author's  first ferret.  Beautifully illustrated, the story revolves around a little white ferret with black eyes who was abandoned by the side of the road.  Musky, as he becomes known, survives the ordeal and finds a "forever" home.  

The author has also developed a Humane Education program for students and educators:  "A practical understanding of how animal shelters operate and the individual--and community-- role students can play in successful outcomes for homeless animals."

The Antics of Carrot the Ferret - author & illustrator June Van Klaveren
 [June Van Klaveren-ISBN: 978-0-9744349-3-3;  2022]

Ferrets are cute creatures, but what is it like to own one?  The  fun and humor of owning a pet ferret is captured in this picture book.  Told in verse, the story  is based on experiences of a 'first-time' owner with a ferret named "Carrot" ("because he is orange with a pointy tail"). 

A full page of Fascinating Ferret Facts is included.  Readers should also study the pictures:  hidden within the illustrations is a small carrot.  Report your findings online and you will receive a surprise in a email from the book's author! 

Written in verse and brightly illustrated, the book is designed to encourage literacy and makes a great, fun book for all readers - young and old alike.
