items 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.
Garry Kilworth's “Frost Dancers” comes into the arena of “Watership Down,” causing the reader to totally identify with a very non-human creature, in this case, the hare. This is a tale filled with fear, humor, and adventure--all the things that keep ...
Frost Dancers
If you haven't yet read “Watership Down,” it's time to plunge into and enjoy every moment of the plunge. It became a classic almost from the moment it was published.
Watership Down: A Novel (Puffin Books Book 1)
“Winter of the Fisher” brings the reader through the first year in a fisher's life when life is always a delicate balance. It's an entrancing story told with lyrical prose, a book that begs to be read. I, for one, have read it four times.
The Winter of the Fisher
“The Catswold Portal” is an engrossing fantasy in which the main character discovers she's a shape shifter, capable of becoming a cat, one destined to enter an epic battle within the underworld of cats. An all-night read.
The Catswold Portal
Fritti Tailchaser goes on a quest to rescue Hushpad, his special friend, a quest of sheer hell, a quest that has you unable to stop reading.
Tailchaser's Song
Deemed a children's book, probably because it involves animals and no neither foul words nor sex, a full-grown adult will enjoy the dickens out this story. Highly recommended.
The Incredible Journey
If you've somehow never read Dean Koontz's best novel, and even if you saw the (regrettable) film, it's time you read it. It's a non-stop, well-written thriller with a strange monster and a genius aptly named Einstein that happens to be a dog. Everyo...
Watchers
“Old Yeller,” a classic, is yet another of those books suited for all ages. Many of us might have missed it while growing up, but it's never too late to enjoy a truly poignant tale about a the loyalty of a boy and dog to each other.
Old Yeller
The scene is a lab that studies apes where bonobos communicate using sign language, but all may not be as peaceful and kind as it seems. An explosion in the lab changes everything. (I read this book nonstop from start to finish.)
Ape House: A Novel
First published in 1941, I wonder if maybe the timing was perfect, coming out as it did at the beginning WWII for the U.S. It's a wonderful tale of taming a wild horse, perhaps the daydream of many a child…and adult, too…and it was a time in history ...
My Friend Flicka
“The Horse Whisperer” is one of those novels you fall into, and damned if you can climb back out. If you haven't read it, it's time to do so.
The Horse Whisperer: A Novel
"There is nothing lonlier than a cat who has been loved, at least for a while, and then abandoned on the side of the road." The calico is pregnant when she meets a dog who becomes her friend and protector, and then the troublesome kittens show up. A ...
The Underneath
Who would think a book starring moles could be so good, so engrossing? But in the hands of William Horwood, the author, it could be nothing but that. This first book in a series of three is about a fight for freedom from cruelty.
Duncton Wood
When Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarborough are involved, you can have space cats. Special space cats. You're in for a treat, and if you really enjoy it, there's a second book called "Catacombs."
Catalyst: A Tale of the Barque Cats
