最早在denver一个独立书店里看到这本书，十分喜欢，介于飞机行李有限制，没有买了背回来。回来看到亚马逊也有，最早卖60多，后来88的时候买了送朋友，现在涨到了140多。。。这是个什么情况？
喜欢很不错很好看！！
This book is a little treasure! It's sweet and charming while being interesting and informative. In addition to my own copy, I'm buying more copies for friends and family members, of all ages. The reaction from people who viewed it so far is extremely enthusiastic, so I'll no doubt end up ordering even more. I am even already hoping there will be a sequel, or at least something along these lines.
Sweet, sometimes touching, sometimes amazing, sometimes somewhat heartbreaking vignettes showing sometimes unlikely animal friendships.
The stories range from domestic dog and cat, cat and lizard, dog and goat tales to stories about a monkey in Indonesia who adopted a kitten he found hanging around, a sleek black bear and his similarly-attired cat pal and elephants, hippos and other befriending unlikely, often wee pals who might otherwise be lunch.
Each story is a couple of pages or so, accompanied by at least one picture of the animals in question.
Some stories seem like they could stand lengthening, or more info about the outcome, as they range from 'these animals were observed hanging out together' to 'these unlikely pals have lived together in a house for years.' Probably culled from other sources, but nice as a collection nonetheless. Not a deep read or anything, but if you like this sort of thing, it's a nice book to pick up and read a few stories at a time - also really nice to read to or with kids. Can spark nice conversations about differences and commonality, meaning of friendships, how animals have feelings too, etc.
This book is absolutely marvelous. The stories are truly inspiring and bring to the forefront that nature is a creation of God Almighty and as such it truly proves that the Lion and the Lamb can lie down together in peace.
Each story that is shared will bring a smile to your face. From the Gorilla that adopts a cat to the dog that raises a pot-bellied pig. The pictures are truly inspiring and the stories bring them alive.
This is great little book to place on your coffee table or on the corner of your desk at work. People will love it. I have it on my desk at church and everyone who stops in to chat ends up looking through the book and finding it a fun diversion. Even the little kids that come by can't wait to take a look.
I keep this around to bring a smile to my face when things are going hard. I love animals and so this just was a perfect addition to my library.
The book is inexpensive, so that should tell you that the pictures aren't of glossy high definition quality. But frankly I was impressed at the good quality for the low price of the book. I don't think you will be disappointed.
Enjoy!
