Hello, friends! Today, we are going to read a fun book called “Some Pets” by Angela Ditterlizzi. Let’s see what exciting things we can learn about pets!
Some pets like to sit quietly, while others love to stay by your side. Some pets enjoy fetching toys, and some just want to play all day! Do you have a pet? What fun things does your pet like to do?
Pets can be very different from each other. Some pets slither like snakes, and some bounce around like bunnies. Some pets run in circles, and others make funny noises. Can you imagine a pet that squeaks or even talks?
Pets can do all sorts of things! Some like to nibble on their food, while others might drool a little. Some pets love to give hugs, and others enjoy cuddling up close. Do you have a pet that likes to cuddle?
Pets come in all shapes and sizes. They can be fluffy, feathered, scaly, big, or small. No matter what they look like, pets can be our best friends. Is your pet your best friend? My pet was my best friend, and I loved him so much!
Let’s meet some fun pets! There’s Coconut the horse, Jeff the hedgehog, and Dragon the iguana. We also have Pickles the parakeet, Screaming Jean the macaw, and Augustus the pot-bellied pig. So many wonderful pets to see!
We also have Cluckers the chicken, Goulemo the guinea pig, and Lemon Drops the exotic shorthair cat. Don’t forget about Blast Off the fancy mouse and Murph the Siamese cat. So many furry and feathery friends!
Meet Norm the tabby cat, Oscar the British shorthair, and Smokey the tuxedo cat. There’s also Philip the Dutch rabbit and Evie the pygmy goat. We even have chinchillas and Slich the hamster!
Say hello to Hazelnut the Pomeranian, Drupes the beagle, and Sky the Great Dane. We also have Mavis the poodle, Cora the bulldog, and Pancakes the golden retriever. So many pets to love!
We hope you enjoyed learning about all these amazing pets! We love animals of all kinds. Thanks for joining us for storytime. Come back and visit us again soon. Bye-bye!
Pet Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or visit a local park with your family. Look for different pets you might see, like dogs, cats, or birds. Can you spot any unusual pets? Talk about what each pet is doing. Are they playing, resting, or exploring? Draw a picture of your favorite pet that you saw on your walk and share it with your class.
Create Your Own Pet: Use clay, playdough, or craft materials to create your own imaginary pet. Think about what your pet might look like and what special things it can do. Does it have wings to fly, or maybe it can swim underwater? Share your creation with your classmates and tell them all about your pet’s unique abilities and how you would take care of it.
Pet Behavior Role-Play: Choose a pet from the story and pretend to be that pet for a few minutes. How does it move? What sounds does it make? What does it like to do? Ask your friends or family to guess which pet you are pretending to be. Then, switch roles and let someone else be a pet for you to guess!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. We are going to be reading “Some Pets” by Angela Ditterlizzi. Let’s check out what the book’s about!
Some pets sit, some pets stay. Some pets fetch, some pets play. Do you have a pet? What does your pet like to do? Some pets slither, some pets bound, some pets scurry round and round. Some pets squeal, some pets squawk, some pets squeak, some pets talk. I know some pets pick, some pets nibble, some pets drool on their kibble. Some pets squeeze, some pets nuzzle, some pets lick, some pets cuddle.
[Applause]
Whether fluffy, feathered, crawly, cute, silly, strange, scaly, big, or small, some pets can be someone’s best friend. Is your pet your best friend? My pet was my best friend; he was the best!
