Unlikely Friendships: 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom — Far beyond fluff , by A. Steinberg “adaMadman” (Kleinmachnow, Germany) , July 7 2011

“Unlikely Friendships” is a perfect gift because Holland weaves into the enormously cute animal tales a scientific sensibility and a fascination with animal behavior that make it much more than one of those novelty books. It’s also a really nicely designed text with fine images, compact yet substantial. Give it as a gift to an adult or a child and watch faces light up. Or I guess you can buy it for yourself and then quick look in the mirror. I love the book, truly, but in the interest of disclosure must note I know the author personally.
