Let's read this graph to find out which pet the least number of children have. We will also read which pet the most children have.

For a bar chart, we read numbers by reading the height of the bar, with the number on the left side

So we have 2 children with a dog as a pet, 5 with a cat, and 3 with a fish.

The least, or smallest of these is the 2 children who have a dog. It's the shortest bar on the graph.

The most, or largest of these, is the 5 children who have a cat. It's the tallest bar on the graph.
