True Tales of Animal Heroes
Hmmm... I swear I have read this before so why didn't it show up on my GR? Could it really have been that long ago that I read this or did I just forget to add it? Anyway this was one of those nice quick reads to break-up the atmosphere of Pike. Also I was planning on a book that wouldn't take too much time while helping to cut down on my reading pile that needs to be moved eventually whether it stays or goes. This particular read, though, is a collection of various animals who have become heroes for their actions whether they were pets or not. And as such there is a nice varied feel to these short stories, most of which have their own unique voice and reading style apart from each other, which is a friendly break to the reader. Whether you can guess as to the animal that will be mentioned can also make for a nice game. Although there are a few tricky titles that may give the reader a run for the money. Otherwise the reading is nice and easy so makes for a wonderful transitional book. With plenty of small chapters acting as stories there are also lots of breaking points to help young readers from feeling overwhelmed. In the end this was definitely a cute and charming book. I would highly recommend it for children who enjoy animals but animal-loving adults may also enjoy a once read-over, especially if they just want a quick read to escape from reality.
