Book Review #5

Genre: Biography

Book Review by Maryellen Hawthorn

All Creatures Great and Small

by James Herriot

How can a mere book cause you erupt with belly laughter at the naivete of a fledgling veterinarian, sigh longingly at the pristine, rugged beauty of England’s Yorkshire, and cry from the wrenching heartbreak of losing a beloved animal? This book evokes these emotions and so, so much more. All Creatures Great and Small transports you to another time, among a brotherhood of county farmers in a part of England so breathtakingly beautiful you will be grateful that the author has written several more “journeys” for you to take!

Yes, it is a funny book with a surprise ending! A fun book to read during this presidential election year.

What's better than curling up with a good book? Cuddling up with a Paws to Read therapy dog and a good book! Kids, dogs, and books—what a great relationship! 

Paws to Read is a very simple concept: Children read to dogs. The dogs listen and don't tease, laugh, or judge the child. The Massillon Public Library offers Paws to Read once a month, giving children the chance to read to therapy dogs.
