SAN MATEO, Calif., January 31, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- At first, it seems that owning a pet is a simple thing. No matter what animal you bring home, there are basics: food, shelter, love and exercise. But, what about exotic animals? Is there something more to be said about how to care for the numerous exotic animals that fill American homes? An Iguana In The Family: By Grover Granville Green, the Green Iguana, now available through 1stBooks Library, is a light romp through life seen through the eyes of an iguana. More than that, however, An Iguana In The Family offers basic ideas and examples as to how to raise a happy and healthy exotic pet.
An Iguana In The Family is the story of a curious and intelligent green iguana named Grover. During his ten years living with the Green family, Grover had the opportunity to take part in many of the shows sponsored by the Bay Area Amphibian and Reptile Society. He also visited numerous schools and educational institutions to teach children about the proper care of iguanas.
Written with both children and adults in mind, An Iguana in the Family is designed to help exotic pet owners learn how to better care for their pets while being entertained by them. Author Winnie Green had never seen a comprehensive book about an iguana's adventures that also detailed the good and bad aspects of having a reptile in the home. Wanting to impart her many years of acquired knowledge, Green penned An Iguana in the Family.
An Iguana in the Family contains numerous pictures and anecdotes detailing Grover's unusual life. Uniquely written from the pet's point of view, An Iguana in the Family will captivate reader and pet owner alike.
Winnie Green is a native of California. She adopted her first iguana in 1988. Her lifetime occupation was teaching: elementary, high school, home teaching and folk dancing. She holds a master's degree in French and a bachelor's in history.
An Iguana in the Family is her first book.
