by Lisa Wiehebrink, Eleanor Harbison (Illustrator)

Absolutely Brilliant!!!! We NEED (as a society) to instill these kind of lessons and values in all our children the same way we teach them manners, how to read and write. I want MORE books like these so that perhaps in a generation or two, puppy mills, animal abuse and cruelty (linked with child abuse as precursor to making sociopaths) and disregard for the other beings that live with us in this planet, will be considerably lessened or almost gone. I applaud the authors for their efforts and want to see more books in this same vein. I will wholeheartedly recommend this book to kids and parents at my library.
