For
parents who do their homework before bringing home a pet, this
book will be a godsend. It is a realistic look at pet ownership
and the time and commitment it takes to do it right, and takes
the pressure of success or failure off the child's shoulders.

Finally!
A book that really gets to the heart of the 'animals-and-kids'
matter. Are You the Pet for Me? is a must-have for parents
who are considering adding an animal to the family. Mary Jane
Checchi has done her homework, and offers superlative advice
on which pets suit what families--and what families would be
better served by having no pets at all. With the preponderance
of evidence linking animal abuse to human abuse, the role of
the family pet is no small consideration. I highly recommend
this book.

This
book will be a godsend to parents who don't know what pet to
get for their child, or whether to get one at all. The author's
clean, clear prose, and her obvious understanding of both animals
and children, will help them make the right choice.

There
should be a law that everyone considering pet ownership must
read this book. The messages shared will strengthen the human/animal
bond, increasing the pet owner's enjoyment. At the same time,
perhaps more importantly, these wonderful creatures that share
our homes and lives will be saved the suffering and abandonment
brought about ignorance.

It
is said that a pet is the only relative that you can choose.
This book will help you make that choice. It is essential reading
for anyone who is even considering buying a pet for themselves,
their children and their home.

Mary Jane Checchi's Are You the Pet for Me? treats lovingly,
logically, and thoroughly all the joys and responsibilities
a family will experience when they elect to bring a pet into
their lives. After reading it, I came away with a deeper appreciation
for what wholesome value God's creatures can bring each other.

With a bracing mix of knowledge, sanity, and compassion, Mary Jane
Checchi joins a long line of friends of animals. She writes
as a peacemaker. Her words-if heeded--are sure to decrease the
violence done to our pets while increasing the joy of companionship.
