Here’s our top ten…
1. The Art of Racing in the Rain – Heart-warming story about a golden retriever’s dream to become a racing driver, and the friendship and devotion he shares with his family. This tale has also been made into a movie starring Milo Ventimiglia, with Kevin Costner as the voice of Enzo the dog - definitely not one to be missed!
2. A Street Cat Named Bob – This is a true story about a ginger cat living rough in London adopting a homeless man. Their unlikely friendship changes both of their lives forever. You can also watch the movie.
3. Marley & Me - We recommend spending a lazy afternoon reading (or watching) faithful retriever Marley, growing up & growing old with his human family.
4. Box Inspector & Other Important Jobs for Cats - You’ll chuckle as you flick through this cute collection of amusing cat comics, lessons, and insights into which jobs cats were simply born to do.

8. Esther the Wonder Pig - Story of a designer micro piglet who turns out to be anything but micro, and her owners, who definitely got more than they bargained for.
9. The Secret Life of Pets - Whichever book you choose from this franchise your little ones won’t be disappointed. Makes you wonder what your pets get up to when you’re at work though...
10. Eddie Albert and the Amazing Animal Gang: The Amsterdam Adventure – This one is at number ten just because we’ve not had a chance to read it yet as its brand new this month! We thought it looked fun though - Eddie Albert is an ordinary boy with a secret talent, who is friends with a hamster, two goldfish, and a crow, all with their own adventures to share. Written by Paul O’Grady. Have you read this yet?
