review 1: Quick Picks For Reluctant Readers4Q, 5P, A/YA, Ages 8+I’ll admit that I had every intention of scanning this book and moving on only to find myself reading it page by page. Laugh out loud funny pictures of people and their furry friends accompanied by witty taglines and the occasional narrative made this a real pleasure read. Whether posing with their primped up poodle or the 4H prize-winning cow, each of these pictures tells a story about the relationships we have as humans to the animal world without trying to do any more than make us laugh. A real hidden gem within this book are the “Pet-a-likes” featuring photos of pet owners who look like their pets. The resemblance is head-shakingly funny. More than once, you’ll feel sorry for the pets in this book who s... moreuffer through designer doggy shoes, relentless attention and just plain old-fashioned awkwardness inflicted by those who love them the most. But then you’ll look at the pet owners and realize that the amount of love they expend on their pets is a beautiful thing. The cover art featuring a pleading lab being hugged with ridiculous enthusiasm by a balding orange-sweatered man will entice anyone with a funny-bone to open this book up and take a look.
review 2: Okay, this isn't so much a book you read (although it does have short, amusing captions) as one you look at. Many of the photos are simply hysterical -- it's amazing what our pets put up with, particularly when it comes to being photographed. Highly recommended for anyone who has a pet (or ever had one, or who wants one).P.S. These authors also "wrote" a book called "Awkward Family Photos," which I intend to read in the future. less
