[Karen Dransfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

It took me a while but I got there in the end. It's a collection, so it had 3 books together and each book had 3 or 4 stories. It's about animals who make unlikely friendships. It's about humans doing extraordinary things to help out an animal in need. It's about our wonderful world and some of the surprisingly beautiful things in it. I started reading this cause of the Owen and Mzee story and enjoyed all the reads. If you have an animal crazy kid these stories would be great. And all through each story is factual side notes, and loads of photo's of the fact so well worth a read.
