I enjoyed the pictures more than the captions. Animals are just the best.

Considering these photos are from sort of contest for funniness, I didn't find very many of them that funny... :S I don't know, maybe I'm just a stick in the mud. The ones I thought were funny were REALLY funny, but the other ones were mostly just meh. Cute animals and great shots, just not funny haha exactly.

Just a fun little book chock full of fun, crazy, and/or adorable animal photographs. One of my faves was the super chubby hamster with his cheeks full of seeds running full-tilt at the camera with the caption "first day of jogging resolution"! LOL As a bonus, if you buy the book, a portion of the sale goes to help save wildlife. Woot!

A collection of funny, interesting, surprisingly referencial (or sometimes not) wildlife photos. The photos wouldn't be out of place in a coffee table album, but have been given captions to bring a smile to your face.
Some hit the mark perfectly, and some might not, but overall, it's a nice book to have around and glance through for a quick smile.

Definitely adult humour, but a hilarious read. My co-worker and I were doubled over laughing from some of them. :)

Cool, oh so cool book of real life animal pictures with funny phrases. Perfect for memes.

Good pictures, funny captions.

The pictures are cute. The humour not so much.

The photographs are terrific and some made me laugh out loud. A few of the captions just didn't seem that funny.

My rating reflects more the photos and the fact that part of the proceeds go to charity rather than the captions, which were often quite eyeroll-worthy. Also, most of the photos were in Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards. I'm starting to wonder if they were essentially the same book, just one for the UK and one for the USA.

Read 8/23/20 - Cute book that is a compilation of the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards plus a few more thrown in. Not much in the way of "reading" but it was great to look through and I laughed out loud at some of the pictures. Fun.

1/10/26: Reread as I'm inventorying my books. It is super cute but not one I think I need to keep. I'll be putting this in a free little library but it is still fun and funny. Would recommend looking through it.
