Filled with loving stories of real animals "talking" to humans, this book will warm the heart of anyone who has ever loved an animal.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Jean Craighead George, including rare photos from the author's personal collection.… (more)

George has compiled detailed information about dogs, cats, birds and horses in this fascinating book. Stories of animal encounters and human experiences with animals are used throughout the book to highlight different animal behaviors. I have two cats, and I learned new things about them. It began with a brief history of their domestication then provided detailed information about their facial and tail patterns. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has or wants an animal. ( )
