James Herriot's Treasury for Children

I havent come across any book as wonderful as this which talks of animals and their stories..and these are not fictions..but true stories penned by the Veterinary doctor practicing in Scotland countryside. The stories are of farm animals like cats and dogs and horse and ship and pig. Each story is narrated very well to depict the character of each animal without any jargon. And what to say about marvelous illustrations of this book. There is not a single page without illustration. Rather the stories are written on illustrated pages. The illustrations very well show the countryside Scotland which seems very similar to rural India of farms and animals. Each page is a vibrant imagery. Both the illustrators have their own different style. The book has a very grand size. You would feel like a photo album..like a memoir someone had made. You would surely love this book for yourself and your kids. This review is for hardcover edition by St. Martin's Griffin (ISBN : 978-1250058133)

it's a must buy. the illustrations are so so pretty and the stories wonderful. the children would like you to read it to them again and again. luckily we got it at a discount.

This book by James Herriot is simply amazing. The stories are warm and loving ones about animals and humans, and will make little children cry tears of joy and sadness. Children will adore them, but you know what, adults will love them too.

Beautifully produced

A masterpiece of children's literature from the vet from the dales. The narrative is accompanied by beautiful illustrations that complement the text.

A very beautiful book.... specially the illustrations... though a bit pricey definitely worth having...
