Talking Tails: The Incredible Connection Between People and Their Pets by Jane Drake, Ann Love

gondorgirl's review

What a cute book!! 'Talking Tails' gently explores the relationship between people and their pets in a way that makes it understandable for children and still interesting for adults. A quick read for adults, the grown up reader may be drawn to the time line of animals-as-pets spanning the bottom of each page. I can see an animal loving child reading this book over and over, or a family using it when thinking about getting a pet. Cats and dogs get most of the pages, but horses, fish, rodents, and birds are also discussed. There are lots of cute stories sprinkled among the pages- my personal favorite was about a service dog and her young companion. Over all I think 'Talking Tails' is a great book for a young animal fan. The illustrations are very cute and there is a lot of good knowledge presented in an easy-to-digest manner.
