review 1: I thought this book was going to have, well, stories in it. You know, about shelter animals. I didn't expect one or two milquetoast comments over a picture of the shelter animal. I knew this book was Mutts related but it was way more Mutts and way less shelter animal goodness than I thought it was going to be.[return][return]That said, it's a visually appealing book. It still manages to be touching and amusing. The problems I had with it won't bother anyone who sees it in a bookstore and flips through it. I was just unprepared by the description for what it actually was. I think those beautiful animals deserved more attention than they got!
review 2: I've liked Patrick McDonnell for years now. A combination of style and content, no doubt. Shelter Stories is r... moreeally a fantastic little book of McDonnell's shelter-centered comics and really charming photos of adopted animals. (The photos made me think of Rachel Hale's Smitten and Snog, cat and dog photography respectively.) As I've worked with animals for a bit now in various forms (and with more rescues than not), it's hard for me not to be more than a bit touched by the pro-adoption theme, particularly of older animals and those that come with a multitude of issues because of human idiocy. Definitely a nice gift book to give to any animal lover. less
