Beautiful book with lovely illustrations! Highly recommend adding this to your own personal library. My children and their cousins, ages 2-11, have thoroughly enjoyed this classic and lovely book. It is timeless and well made. I have purchased this book as a gift too and tend to recommend this book whenever given the opportunity from our home collection.

Highly recommend!
We are fans of the PBS show All Creatures Great and Small, so I was drawn to this for a bedtime read aloud with our child. The child had never watched the show with us but enjoyed these animal stories and the gorgeous artwork on each page. There really are a lot of pictures and each one is beautiful. We all enjoyed the stories and our child frequently looks through it or asks us to read a story from it.

Beautiful!
The illustrations are lovely, the stories are wonderful. It is a lovely book and makes a great gift for a young animal-lover. It is at a 4th grade reading level or thereabouts.

A book to teach your kids empathy for animals.
I havent come across any book as wonderful as this which talks of animals and their stories..and these are not fictions..but true stories penned by the Veterinary doctor practicing in Scotland countryside. The stories are of farm animals like cats and dogs and horse and ship and pig. Each story is narrated very well to depict the character of each animal without any jargon. And what to say about marvelous illustrations of this book. There is not a single page without illustration. Rather the stories are written on illustrated pages. The illustrations very well show the countryside Scotland which seems very similar to rural India of farms and animals. Each page is a vibrant imagery. Both the illustrators have their own different style. The book has a very grand size. You would feel like a photo album..like a memoir someone had made. You would surely love this book for yourself and your kids. This review is for hardcover edition by St. Martin's Griffin (ISBN : 978-1250058133)
