A new generation of readers can discover the beloved “Abby and Tess Pet-Sitters” series, with all new covers and inside illustrations. The fun-filled series features third-grader Abby, an aspiring veterinarian, whose family lives in a “No Pets Allowed” apartment building. In order to spend time with animals of all kinds, she goes into the pet-sitting business with her precocious little sister, Tess. The girls learn lots of new things about animals and find creative ways to solve problems. These short chapter books are perfect for kids who love animals and mystery.

 

In Lizards Don't Wear Lip Gloss, the second “Pet-Sitters” adventure, Abby and Tess think they're ready for the challenge of looking after Angus, a lizard that hisses and bites. But when this master of camouflage disappears, Abby is quick to blame Tess. Can the sisters find a way to work together before Angus's owner returns?
