ELA review

Choosing a pet can seem difficult.  With all the different types of cats, dogs, birds, rats, hamster, guinea pigs, fish, and rabbit available, is can seem hard to determine which animal would make the best pet.

• Any pet can be the best pet.
• Dogs are the best, because they lick you and play with you. 
• Rabbits are the best pet, they hop and are furry.
