Animal Tales
Dick King-Smith
A super collection of five of Dick King-Smith’s most charming and hilarious animal stories.
All Because of Jackson – Jackson is a very unusual rabbit – one who dreams of going to sea. So one day he stows away on the Atalanta and sails off in search of a new life . . .
The Catlady – Muriel lives alone with lots and lots of cats. But Muriel’s cats are no ordinary cats – they are people she once knew reincarnated in feline form!
The Guard Dog – The story of a ragged little pup with a grand ambition – to be a guard dog. The other pups laugh at him. Could such a small and scruffy dog really guard a home?
Hairy Hezekiah – Hezekiah lives a quiet life, and seems to be the only animal in the zoo without a friend. So he decides to escape and go on the run!
Horse Pie – Jenny the donkey finds herself unwelcome at the Old Horses’ Home, but when rustlers start looking for horses to make into pies, it’s up to Jenny to save the day.

It was great - especially as I love loads of different types of animals. There were lots of small stories in one big book. One about a dog, one about a cat, one about a donkey, one about a camel and one about two rabbits. I would recommend it to my brother.

It’s a fun book that has lots and lots of stories! You should read Cat Lady, that’s one of my favourites, or All Because of Jackson, who’s a rabbit or Horse Pie - can the three fat horses be saved before they’re killed or is it too late? I’d recommend Animal Tales to people who love animals and stories about animals.

I really liked the Catlady because of her character and the guard dog was a good story.
