Children’s Books By Dave Marchetti

Dave Marchetti is the owner of Animal Experiences. He is extremely passionate about animals of all kinds and has been working with them for his entire life. His professional career started with him managing one of the largest pet stores in New England for many years. From there, he moved on to create educational and hands-on animal programs where he helps foster the love of animals with children and adults alike. The animals that Dave uses in his shows have served as inspiration for the children’s books he has written. His unique children’s books are available on the website or through the major online booksellers like Amazon.

Beyond the Traveling Animal Show

When he is not busy with his animal programs, Dave has a separate business where he builds, repairs, and maintains goldfish and koi ponds throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This separate business is a great example of Dave’s commitment to fish and other animals.

Three Entertaining Titles
