10 Terrific Books About Animals

Literature about the other inhabitants of the Animal Kingdom

Mankind is an animal, that’s a fact. Usually, we forget that due to our innate superior consciousness that allows us to develop tools which empower us to overome our many limitations. But if we are stripped naked from them, we have nothing over most animals on this earth, so we would do well in respecting them.

The rest of the glorious creatures that roam the land are as varied as your imagination can visualize and beyond. Any species of animal found on the planet is complex enough that several books can be written about each one individually. We only present you with the best of them here. Develop a new understanding and respect for animals by reading these books.

“The college admissions scandal stinks, but when cats are involved, it’s even stinkier. Cattywood cats are even more outrageous, as you can imagine, than Hollywood celebrities!

I’m biased, of course, since I wrote the book in a burst of inspiration after I have some fun imagining whether cats would be more honest about getting their kittens into the elite colleges than Lori Loughlin, Felicity Huffman, and the other parents we’ve been reading about. ”
