Book Review: A Collection of Touching Tales
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful book. It is well written, wonderfully illustrated, thoughtfully organized, and engaging to read. A true gem. The touching stories of rescued bunnies, whether written by the author or other well-known animal advocates, such as Michael W. Fox and Susan Chernak McElroy, are compelling. They sometimes brought a tear to my eye and always a smile to my face.
The organization of the book is well done. Each story, typically three or four pages long, is accompanied by some kind of illustration: most often a captivating color photo or two of the rabbit in the story, but sometimes there are artistic pieces done in another medium, such as water color or ink renderings. At the end of each story, there is a short, but always helpful "About Rabbits" tip. These tips cover the whole gamut of rabbit care and issues, from litter box training rabbits to reasons why classroom rabbits are not a good idea. Each helpful tip or issue is listed in the Table of Contents for easy location.
While these stories are about rabbits, who all have gentle hearts and valiant spirits, they could have just as easily been about dogs or cats or horses, or even a quail named Robert. The message in the touching tales transcends the specific characters, who just so happen to have big back feet and tender ears. They enable readers to recall their own special memories of animals who have touched their lives. It might have been a bunny named Bentley, a dog named Dinsmore, a cat named Cassandra, or even a little baby duck, without a name, that was once held carefully while stroking its feathery softness and smelling the sweetness of its yellow down.
If the reader adores rabbits as I do, the book is a must-have simply because it's full of wonderful stories about these precious animals. But this is also the first rabbit book I've read that has something valuable to offer to everyone who has ever known the love and uniqueness of a special animal. Any animal. It is not a book reserved for "rabbit lovers" only.
It's a perfect choice for people who care about animals now, or have done so in the past. The collection of pictures alone is worth the price of the book.
