James Herriot's Treasury for Children : Herriot, James, Dale, Jim: desertcart.in: Books Review: A book to teach your kids empathy for animals. - I havent come across any book as wonderful as this which talks of animals and their stories..and these are not fictions..but true stories penned by the Veterinary doctor practicing in Scotland countryside. The stories are of farm animals like cats and dogs and horse and ship and pig. Each story is narrated very well to depict the character of each animal without any jargon. And what to say about marvelous illustrations of this book. There is not a single page without illustration. Rather the stories are written on illustrated pages. The illustrations very well show the countryside Scotland which seems very similar to rural India of farms and animals. Each page is a vibrant imagery. Both the illustrators have their own different style. The book has a very grand size. You would feel like a photo album..like a memoir someone had made. You would surely love this book for yourself and your kids. This review is for hardcover edition by St. Martin's Griffin (ISBN : 978-1250058133) Review: you should buy it - it's a must buy. the illustrations are so so pretty and the stories wonderful. the children would like you to read it to them again and again. luckily we got it at a discount.

The illustrations are lovely, the stories are wonderful. It is a lovely book and makes a great gift for a young animal-lover. It is at a 4th grade reading level or thereabouts.

This book is everything great about James Herriot books but tailored at 3-6 year olds. It has eight individual stories (chapters really) of fun, unique experiences that Dr Herriot shares. The pictures are beautiful, the stories are delightful that work with the realities of being a vet and life on a farm in a very gentle, non-confronting way. It truly is overwhelmingly joy-filled and so worth reading. Great for boys or girls. This book takes pride of place on our bookshelf.
