Forgot... for what it is worth, when I was younger, my mom did something similar when I was trying to talk her in to getting guinea pigs. I had to read the whole book that came with it and pas a little test my mom made from the book before I could start looking for an actual guinea pig. My brother and sister who got similar packages were both very excited and satisfied to get them on Christmas, but lost interest in their desired pets before they reached the end of their books, and just dropped the idea by the middle of January. No doubt, if they had been given the actual animals, they would probably have been 'done' with them by then too, and this way spared the pets from being 'disposable' and my mom from a guilt-trip.
