Ann tells about her life with all her pets.

Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures present The Secret Life of Pets, a comedy about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day. Boys and girls ages 3 to 7 will love this full-color storybook based on the hit film!

Pickens reveals how pets have played an important role in the White House throughout the decades, no only by providing companionship to the presidents and their families, but also by humanizing and softening their political images.

This inside look at the White House's animal residents features a rollicking, rhyming verse for each commander-in-chief's pets, accompanied by cool facts, presidential stats, and laugh-out-loud cartoon art. John Quincy Adams kept an alligator in the bathtub, while Thomas Jefferson's pride and joy was his pair of bear cubs. Andrew Jackson had a potty-mouthed parrot, and Martin Van Buren got into a fight with Congress over his two baby tigers. First daughter Caroline Kennedy's pony Macaroni had free reign over the White House. But the pet-owning winner of all the presidents was Theodore Roosevelt, who had a hyena, lion, zebra, badger, snake, rats, a nippy dog that bit the French ambassador, and more!

Three friends go against their parents' wishes and enter the old house that's been sitting abandoned on the edge of town for over a hundred years, and quickly realize getting back out isn't simply a matter of turning around.

A boy's search for the perfect pet leads him to the bookstore, where he finds a bright red book that becomes his best friend.
