Kindle has the most popular e-readers in the world, and with good reason: They make reading so much easier on the eyes and make books far more portable. Add in the extras like covers and speakers, and you're in book heaven.

Here's a collection of books where, either the animals tell their own story or the writer pulls you deep into the animals' experience. It can be truly another world that you enter.

Everyone knows that animals talk, but not everyone knows they can narrate and even write entire books. Their writing can be pithy and, at times, quite funny.

There are two types of classics: a book written maybe 75 or more years ago or the one instantly loved by all. This list contains both types of classic children's stories.

A good writer can make truth read like fiction. Add animals for a finishing touch.
