"This book is beautiful. The art is gorgeous, the animals are adorable, the scenery is breathtaking, and the people feel alive. The stories are sweet, funny, and kind hearted. It is a book of people and animals being kind and loving to each other accompanied by great art. Everyone should at least flip through it, but really you should read and treasure it."
