ILLUSTRATED in black-and-white photography with accompanying descriptive captions. "While 'A Practical Guide to Impractical Pets' focuses mainly on the care, feeding, breeding, and health needs of a variety of animals, it also contains much information that is useful, interesting, and engagingly presented.
