This book marks a perfect opportunity for existing fans of Herriot's work to reacquaint themselves with his writing, and for those who've never read him to see what generations of animal lovers have already discovered: James Herriot is that rarest of creatures, a genuine master storyteller.

At age 23, Herriot qualified for veterinary practice with the Glasgow Veterinary College, and moved to the town of Thirsk in Yorkshire to work in a rural practice. He would live in, work in, and write about the region for the rest of his life. Though he dreamed for years of writing a book, his veterinary work and his family kept him busy, and he did not start writing until the age of 50. In 1979, he was awarded the title Order of the British Empire (OBE). His veterinary practice in Yorkshire, England, is now tended by his son, Jim Wight.

Look, I like dogs. I like dogs a lot. I even like some boys. But I think we can all agree that the general "boy and his dog" story-line has been done to death at this point. There are plenty of books about dogs out there. There are books about boys…

Wilbert the Wombat Social Distances: Teaching Children Kindness and Healthy Habits by Jamie Brooke is a story about a wombat and his friends who live in the outback. One day Doctor Kookaburra flies by and tells Wilbert about a new sickness that is spreading. The doctor tells Wilbert it would be best to stay inside and maintain social distance until a cure is found, so Wilbert tells everyone he knows to stay safe and stay home. Wilbert makes his home as comfy as can be so that he can social distance comfortably. Time goes by and the animals learn to live in this new world until, finally, the doctor comes back with great news. Wilbert the Wombat Social Distances by Jamie Brooke is a lovely book that helps to explain social distancing to young children. The story uses an array of cute and unique animals from Australia to explain the concept of social distancing and what the best ways are to deal with a spreading sickness. I think this story is exactly what is needed during a time of a pandemic where so many things are changing and, as an adult, it can be difficult explaining to youngsters what is happening around them. This book offers a solution, explaining that by staying home you can make sure no one else gets sick and when you do go out you need to social distance, as some diseases are passed on through the air. This story is not only well written but also educational and I would highly recommend it.

When Author Tom Templeman reached out to me this past May asking if I would be interested in reviewing his book: My Best Little Buddy: 17 Years of Love & Friendship with Tiger, I was completely unaware of at the time, of the eerie parallels that would surface. Initially, I agreed to review his book because: 1) He was referred to me by another author whose book I reviewed and greatly loved. 2) The love that he felt for his handsome tabby, soul kitty Tiger, was evident throughout every word of his email. With such love evident in an EMAIL, how could I NOT want to read this book??? I eagerly awaited the book's arrival. When it arrived, I scheduled a review for today, totally oblivious as to the relevance of the time of year that I chose to read this book. That is where the parallels began. I gasped when I gazed at the cover photo of Tiger who bore a striking resemblance to my own Bobo who passed July 2, 2007. Tiger was Tom's "best little buddy", Bobo was mine. The parallels continued to surface... Tom first met Tiger and his litter mate Sundae, when they were abandoned kittens in a park in 1995. I first found Bobo (who was also abandoned), in January of 1990. I lost Bobo on July 2, 2007 at the age of 18 due to incurable heart disease. Tom's beloved Tiger passed, July 13, 2012. When I sat down to read My Best Little Buddy, the book grabbed my heart and didn't let go. "Tiger" Photo Courtesy of My Best Little Buddy on Facebook there are 28 photos of Tiger and his sister Sundae at various times of their lives Anyone who has ever loved, and later lost a pet will be able to relate to, and delight in the documentation of Tom's years spent with Tiger, and the love that they shared. I marvel at the fact that Tom began writing this book less than 3 weeks after his beloved Tiger passed. "As I begin writing, it is still less than 3 weeks since that heart-wrenching day; the emotions are still raw at times, and I occasionally have to walk away to dry my eyes." In Tom's Own Words:This is a heartwarming story of 17 years of love and friendship with a little grey tabby cat named Tiger, who we found as a kitten abandoned in a park and quickly became my best little buddy. During those 17 years he was my best pal, playmate, protector, comic relief, comforter, and laptime snuggler. Tiger was full of goofy personality; he was everything I could ever ask for in a pet. To many of my friends and family, including me, Tiger often appeared to be more of a little person disguised in grey striped pajamas than a cat, who viewed life like a perennial five year old! This book is written from the heart, as I share special stories of Tiger over the years that brought laughter, love, tears, joy, comfort, and many, many great memories." Tiger with his favorite ball Photo courtesy of http://www.mybestlittlebuddy.com/ Allow me to emphasize what Tom said above: "this book is written from the heart." It is evident when you read this book, that it was written from the heart. Tom shares 17 years of special moments from his and Tiger's lives together, one of my favorites was how Tom and his wife, Terri, Tiger and Tiger's littermate, Sundae, frequently "camped out" in the living room together to share special bonding time, how Tom and Terri catered to Tiger's and Sundae's every whim and need, how he described Tiger's favorite toys, (moments we can ALL relate to). Moments that we often take for granted when our pets are in their prime, that become cherished memories that are forever in our hearts when they are no longer with us. July 2 marked 7 years that I have lived my life without MY "little buddy", Bobo. It was no coincidence that something that I was unaware of (until now), made me sit down and read this book during his anniversary week. It was no coincidence, it was Bobo "speaking" to me from the Rainbow Bridge, knowing that this touching book would allow ME to relive the special moments that we shared throughout our 18 years together. While reading My Best Little Buddy, it brought MY "best little buddy" back to ever-so-sweet life. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It will do the same for you.
