<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The authors of the "New York Times" bestseller "Awkward Family Photos" are back with a hilarious tribute to the unbreakable--and sometimes uncomfortable--bond between people and their pets. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>The authors of the <i>New York Times bestseller Awkward Family Photos</i> are back with a hilarious tribute to the unbreakable and sometimes uncomfortable bond between people and their pets. <p/></b>There are few things more rewarding than having a pet. They love us unconditionally, shower us with attention, and because of them, we actually live longer. So, what can possibly be awkward about our animal BFFs? Well . . . nothing. In fact, we're the awkward ones. We adore our pets, but let's face it--sometimes L-O-V-E makes us go a little overboard. Like giving them middle names, throwing them elaborate birthday parties, and making them a Christmas sweater to match with the rest of the family. Truth is, what they cherish most is our companionship. And maybe that's the reason we care about them so much--because for such simple pleasures, they allow us to be as awkward as we want.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Online buzz for AwkwardFamilyPetPhotos.com: <br></b><br>The folks who brought the Internet the face-palming absurdity that is Awkward Family Photos have struck comedy gold again with Awkward Family Pet Photos. --AOL <p/>Hilariously awkward. --MSNBC.com <p/>The genius minds behind the hilarious site Awkward Family Photos - which features cringe-worthy, embarrassing photos of fairly creepy, fashion-challenged families - have taken their collection of awkward photos to a whole new level with their hysterical new site, Awkward Family Pet Photos. -AnimalPlanet.com <p/><b>Praise for <i>Awkward Family Photos</i> <br></b><br>This is the best book of embarrassing and strange photos of people who look like my family that I have ever seen. --Judd Apatow <p/>A living, breathing, laugh-out-loud reminder that no matter how badly you dressed, how oddly you posed, and how weird Uncle Dave who lived in the basement was, somebody out there had it worse. --Jennifer Weiner, bestselling author of <i>In Her Shoes <p/></i>Being a test tube baby doesn't seem such a bad idea after looking at these folks. I laughed till it hurt. To paraphrase Tolstoy... every family is freaky in its own way. There's so much love here- but maybe a little more pain, or desperation, or bewilderment. I often feel slightly sad or guilty that I'm not closer with my own family- but looking at this bunch I sense we all have something in common and I'm far from being alone. --David Byrne <p/>Anything that both makes me laugh and think my family isn't so embarrassing deserves to be a book. --Joel Stein, <i>Time</i> magazine columnist <p/>I wept with laughter fourteen times while reading this book and snorted aloud twice. I dare you to find a higher weep/snort ratio in any other publication. --Karen McCullah Lutz, screenwriter of <i>Legally Blonde</i> and <i>The Ugly Truth <p/></i><i>Awkward Family Photos</i> is the funniest book that I've read in a long time. It reminds you that it's okay to laugh at yourself and celebrates the family that made you awkward in the first place. --Mia Kirshner, <i>The L Word</i> <p/><i>Awkward Family Photos</i> is absolutely hysterical, yet at the same time, it's a stunningly accurate photographic record of the late 20th century American family. Now I can be certain I was not alone in my awkwardness. --Adam Herz, Writer, <i>American Pie</i> <i>I, II, III</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> MIKE BENDER is a screenwriter whose credits include <i>Not Another Teen Movie</i> and the MTV Movie<br>Awards. DOUG CHERNACK has created and produced television shows for E, Fox Sports, and the<br>Golf Channel.
