I am writing to recommend a book whose called ‘How to be Animal Friendly’, which I read recently. This is a book for young people who are interested in animals but don’t know much about them. It has great cartoons and photographs and is packed with them facts about the relationship between people and animals. There are written chapters on vegetarianism, wearing fur and leather and endangered animals. It is written in such a way that it helps you for to see things from the animals’ viewpoint. In some places, this book was so much sad that I wanted to put it down, but on the whole it is fun to read. As well as facts about the animals mostly themselves, there is also information about what cruel people do to animals, and how people use animals for different things in various parts of the world. It also tells you how animals have been saved people’s lives. For example, I was amazed to read the exciting story of how three wild bears saved a five-year-old girl when she got lost in the woods. I thought this book was excellent and would definitely recommend it as for anyone over seven years old who wants to know more about animals.
