This book is a collection of stories about animals of different species connecting with each other. Everything from domestic animals with other domestics, mortal enemy wild animals with each other, domesticated with wild and everything else you could imagine. The stories run two or three pages each and have at least one color photo of the animals in question. I read this to my daughter over the course of many bedtimes. While many of the stories were sweet, about one in five would end horribly somehow...one of the animals died of old age, wandered off, etc. Which meant I needed to read another one of the stories to my daughter to not end on a down note.

Overall, it was nice little snippets of entertainment (when there wasn't the sad endings) and I think we both learned a bit here and there. ( )

They say picture is worth a thousand words and when it comes to this book, the pictures are the main appeal. The stories behind the pictures provide basic information on the animals and what brought them together but it's the pictures that make the reader think AWWWW, How Cute Is That ! ( )

Great photos in this one-it's worth checking out just for that, if you're an animal lover.
The written accounts are OK but not as impressive as the photos. ( )

Calling all animal lovers! This one's for you.

Just look at the cover!

A must read for all animal lovers.

For some "warm fuzzies", this is is the perfect book. I received a copy from a friend and fellow animal lover. There are such beautiful stories about some "unlikely" (but utterly adorable) friends.

The photos are utterly adorable and will melt your heart.

There are also short stories that go along with each photo.

Absolutely adorable and highly recommended. ( )

Sweet book full of stories of animals who have befriended an unlikely companion. I read it in one sitting, which is unusual for me. Could read aloud to little ones but be aware that some of the relationships end naturally but just solidifies the experience in how the one left mourns for their friend. Maybe one day Republicans and Democrats can learn from this book! Hahaha ( )
