“Furry Friends” will certainly bring out the “aw, how cute” for any baby animal lover.  Rachel Hale’s photographs have captured some adorable and playful moments of kittens, puppies, and even a lamb.

My son thought the pictures were fun and silly, but his only comment was there wasn’t any shooting in this book (Star Wars is his current favorite theme at the moment). He wondered why a dog was wearing bunny ears since he definitely was a dog and not a bunny.

Parent’s comment:

This board book, “Furry Friends,” is developed around these playful pictures with the text being more a rhyming caption rather than following a story line or a recurring theme. Though the photographs were well done, because they focus on just the animals there isn’t a lot of other detail in the picture for discussion.
