My Animal Friends
Dick King-Smith, Anita Jeram
Presented for the first time in paperback reader format, a classic anthology of Dick King-Smith’s real-life animal encounters, narrated with anecdotal charm.
With an autobiographical foreword from the author, this collection traces Dick King-Smith’s journey from boy to farmer, from soldier to favourite children’s author – always in the company of his irrepressible animal friends. From Dodo the film-star Daschund to a cabbage-eating shark; from a night of badger-biffing to a tortie cat with one hundred and four kittens; from the cat who thinks he’s one of the dogs to a dog who fosters orphaned kittens … wherever Dick King-Smith goes, curious animals are sure to follow. So find a cosy spot, curl up by the fireside and feel the glow of that old Dick King-Smith animal magic – purrrrrrrrrr.
Reviews
It was good but they need more guinea pigs

I really liked the book because the person had loads of pets like cows, tortoises, ferrets, pigs, mice, rabbits and even a horse, llama and a zebra. There are mini stories about each and every animal.

This is lots of stories about the author's pets. My favourite is Solomon and Albert who are a zebra and a llama because they do the same routine every morning. I would recommend to everyone.

I liked these stories because they were true stories and I liked all the animals - especially the chameleon.
