Summary: for animal lovers of all ages
Comment: AMYFB, is a hit with animal lovers and healers at our house. My daughter is interested in becoming a vet. but anyone who has a rapport with animals will find it interesting and fun to read. Many adult type books of the intrinsic intelligence of animals have already been published :Among Whales and When Elephants Weep are just two of our favorites. So I was especially pleased when a book on this topic was written simply enough for a child yet interesting enough for her mom. Great job! and it just calls out for a sequel!

Summary: Recommended for pet lovers and people thinking about a pet!
Comment: Caveat: The reviewer is a subject of one of the stories in the book ,but she would not have agreed to be a part of the project if she did not believe in the book!! But all biases aside.......

AMYFB is a wonderful book that chronicles how the animals around us improve our lives and make us happier. Anyone who owns a pet, or spends time around animals at all, know this, but it is refreshing and enlightening to read through these 26 stories and realize the commonality of our experiences!

Dogs, cats, horses, racoons, a dolphin, a donkey, and even a hamster, are all the best of friends to humans in these short, easy-to-read, sometimes sad and often funny stories.

The book is set up with assessments at the end of each story, and a final test at the end to determine how the reader looks upon the true relationship between people and animals.

Having read this book I found myself thinking that perhaps we as human beings could learn a lot from our animal friends. It certainly made me think about the nature of human/animal interactions. I would highly recommend this book as ideal reading for anyone thinking of buying a pet.

The book is directed at children ages 9-16, but can be enjoyed by folks of all ages.

I know I enjoyed it!
