 Rating: - Our family loves this book!James Herriot's stories are dear to the hearts of little children. It's a delight to read a book to my family that is meaningful and interesting. They kept asking me to read the next one. The stories are short and the illustrations are captivating. The language is excellent and provides opportunity for children to learn new vocabulary. Highly recommended! Rating: - A Classic for Your FamilyMy entire family LOVES this book! My kids, ages 7 and 5, ask for the stories over and over again. I love how warm the stories are, how colorful and vivid the illustrations are, how each story leaves a sweet affection for the animals and characters this vet has attended to. As a mom, I also love how this book has added words to my children's vocabulary, but without sacrificing the flow and ease of the stories. Each story takes 10-15 minutes to read, and my children are captivated by the story and ...

We've spent quite a bit of time going over the illustrations pointing out a lot of the detail. I bought a used copy of this book. Had I known what an exceptional book it is, I probably would have bought a brand new ... Read More Rating: - Even the little ones can enjoy Herriot!I am a long-time fan of James Herriot's books. I worked in an independent book store when I found this jewel, and I have given it at every baby shower and young child's birthday since. It is a collection of stories taken from his books and illustrated. The stories are sweet, poignant tales of the literary veterinarian's encounters with four-legged friends in England. If you are an animal lover or Herriot fan, this is a must- see. The illustrations are realistic with a touch of warmth ... Read More Rating: - A quality read for your kidsThe stories in here are not just bedtime tales. This is life-enriching literature with quirky characters and poignant emotion which you will treasure for years to come. I got as much out of reading these to our son as he did, and you will all enjoy the illustrations. As with real living, the death of a beloved pet is included in one of the tales, so if your children would be upset by this, you might discuss beforehand.
