Review by Library Journal Review
For these latest entries in their best-selling "24/7" series (America 24/7), Smolan and Cohen sorted through more than 100,000 pictures taken by dog and cat lovers nationwide and for each volume chose 500 breathtaking, full-color photos celebrating the relationship between human and pet. Readers will recognize their own companions, whether it's the new kitten playing with youngsters or a mixed-breed dog hiking in the backcountry with his doctor owner. Besides the images, there are photo essays by well-respected writers like Patricia McConnell, Michael Rosen, and James Herriot ("The Christmas Kitten" from The Best of James Herriott). Featuring purebreds and mutts, fat cats and cool cats, these large-format books will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever owned an animal. For a unique copy, readers can even put their own dog's or cat's photo on the dust jacket. Recommended for collections that cater to the pet-loving public.-Edell M.
