| Background Information:
The Pick-a-Pet iAdventure asks children to pretend that they will get
a pet. They need to think about the new pet in terms of whether it
will live indoors or outdoors and what size it will be. After these
decisions have been made, the children have to determine what the name
of the pet will be, where it will live (in a fence or cage, indoors or
outdoors, in a dog house, etc.) and how to take care of it.
