How to Teach your Cat to use a Scratching Post by By Bruce Carlley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a little short book just for giving ideas to help your cat to learn NOT to scratch your furniture. Sadly my cat never read it! Maybe some of these ideas will work for you. It is only $.99 right now. I got it when it was free. Enjoy!
Sacred Siamese: Essential Care Guide For Siamese Cat Owners From A Siamese Lover: A HISTORY OF THE SIAMESE BREED, A DETAILED CARE GUIDE FOR SIAMESE CAT … – INCLUDING KITTEN, RESCUES, COLOR PICTURES by Jessica Thompson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love Siamese cats! I had one for about 16 years and here at a decade later I still miss her so much. Our kitty was a rescue and wasn’t pure-breed. But the pictures in this book made me miss her even more. I would love to take in another Siamese someday.
This book was full of photos and information about this marvelous breed. I learned a few things. But I have to admit that I came out of the book still confused about the words points and seal-points. That may be my own inability to read and retain information properly–or it may be that it wasn’t clear in the book. Still it is worth enjoying and learning what you can.
Beautiful Black Cats: A collection of photographs of black cats by Precious The Cat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
AS an animal lover I love looking at picture books about different animals. As a black cat owner I LOVE pictures of cats like mine. Since my black cat was a rescue kitty, we didn’t get to see her as a kitten, so some of these pictures could easily be what she looked like when she was tiny.
The book leaves me smiling. But I think it might have been better to not have the credits right under the picture but tuck it away in the back so that the photos can stand alone. It was the only thing I didn’t like about the book.
Horses: Amazing Photos and Facts about Them by DC Waits
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I was looking for visual inspiration for my NaNoWriMo. It is about equine type people and I thought the more pictures I could look at the better. This served the purpose, but barely.
The photos are divine. But there is a need for an editor in the captions beneath each picture. Still. I got it for free. What was it I was hoping for? Great for children who haven’t learned to read yet. Or, like me, folks who like to see horses.
The Horse Book by Ben Holden-Crowther
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Since my NaNoWriMo is/was about equine people I wanted just pictures for visual inspiration. This book filled the bill perfectly. I might have wanted more, especially of ponies. But these are marvelous photos of horses and landscapes.
101 Fish Pictures by Lily Endicott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Pictures. Give me pictures. I often pick up picture books for Kindle as I can enjoy beautiful pictures of just about anything. My recent NaNoWriMo novel included horses and centaurs so I picked up picture books on horses. This book just came up and I always love looking at fish. We don’t have room for an aquarium so pictures will have to do.
When I feel the need I will pull this one back up and just relax my eyes on these photos. I wish this was made into a screensaver app. I would love it! Oh, the nice part is that this one has no words. Although I would have liked to have the fish identified for my curiosity. But I could look it up if I wanted, I suppose.
Horses: Amazing Pictures and Fun Horse Facts for Kids by Susan Palmer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Because I am writing about equines in my nano novel (NaNoWriMo.org). I needed a little inspiration. This book was free so I thought I’d take a chance.
There were not as many pictures as I really wanted. But there was one at the beginning of each chapter. This seems to be a book for the third to sixth grader who is interested in learning about horses. Though I am not equestrian scholar, far from it, I didn’t expect to learn anything. But I did! So I would say that even though it’s aimed at third to sixth graders, I think anybody could read this and learn something. And if you beating on Kindle Fire or on a tablet the pictures are beautiful. And it gave me the inspiration I needed.
Like Water and Water by Sarah Ettritch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love Sarah Ettritch’s writing. She takes the reader deep into the heads of her characters. She pushes these characters into uncomfortable situations and lets them deal with it accordingly. This story is no exception.
I highly recommend reading this story. My only problem is just that, it is a short story. I always want more. I want to know what happens next. Maybe Ms. Ettritch will consider writing more about these particular characters???
Home, Sweet Home by Amitis Karami
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oh, that was adorable! I loved the illustrations and the sweet story.
Though I found the poetry forced. It would read aloud well as the rhythm stayed true, it was more the word order that bothered me.
When I read children’s stories I imagine reading them to my four kids… when they were kids. Back then we had goats and chickens, ducks, a dog and a cat. Thank goodness we had a barn! A discussion would have followed the read. We would have talked about how nice it was for the lady to take in her cold, wet friends. How we should always try to be kind to others, golden rule recited. How our animals give us so much including food, love and laughs.
There were pages that might work better in paper form, such as the picture of the friends with the lady in the bed were cut in half. I have no idea how that could be fixed for Kindle or epub.
Thank you for sharing this sweet book with me. I would give this four stars. I thinks it is fantastic for a first!
Everything about Rabbits: Including an Exhaustive List of Rabbit Breeds by Amber Richards
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
What can I say? It must have been in one of my weak moments. The picture of the cute little bunnies and a freebie Kindle book. Who couldn’t resist? I grabbed it then sit it aside for another time. And found it again when inbetween fictional stories.
I had hoped there would be lots of pictures of rabbits in this ebook. I love rabbits but there isn’t room in our small apartment for another pet. But at least I could look at the pictures. Nope. The only picture is on the cover.
This didn’t spoil it for me, though. This little book is chocked full of information about finding, care and feeding of rabbits, even a bit on breeding these little sweeties. I was quite amazed at how much there was to learn, beyond what I already knew from the rabbits we had when my adult children were small.
This would be a great book for those thinking of buying bunnies for loved ones for Easter. One needs to know what they are getting into, and there are too many rabbits that end up at the animal shelters shortly after the holidays. For those who are thinking about it seriously, try the shelter after reading the book. Have the home bunny-ready with kitty litter set up. They make great indoor pets. Also, know the breeds so that you get just what you are looking for in a pet.
