<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Written by a "National Geographic" magazine writer, "Unlikely Friendships" documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways. Full color. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> It is exactly like Isaiah 11:6: <i>"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid . . . " </i>Written by <i>National Geographic </i>magazine writer Jennifer Holland, <i>Unlikely Friendships</i> documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways. A cat and a bird. A mare and a fawn. An elephant and a sheep. A snake and a hamster. The well-documented stories of Koko the gorilla and All Ball the kitten; and the hippo Owen and the tortoise Mzee. And almost inexplicable stories of predators befriending prey--an Indian leopard slips into a village every night to sleep with a calf. A lionness mothers a baby oryx. Ms. Holland narrates the details and arc of each story, and also offers insights into why--how the young leopard, probably motherless, sought maternal comfort with the calf, and how a baby oryx inspired the same mothering instinct in the lionness. Or, in the story of Kizzy, a nervous retired Greyhound, and Murphy, a red tabby, how cats and dogs actually understand each other's body language. With Murphy's friendship and support, Kizzy recovered from life as a racing dog and became a confident, loyal family pet. <p/>These are the most amazing friendships between species, collected from around the world and documented in a selection of full-color candid photographs. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Jennifer S. Holland's irresistible volume features heartwarming stories of interspecies love and adorable photographs that are heart-stopping in more than one sense." <br><b>--<i> New York Times Book Review</i></b> <p/> "The feel-good book of the summer--maybe the year--may very well be <i>Unlikely Friendships</i>." <br><b>--<i> USA Today</i></b> <p/> "Jennifer Holland documents one heartwarming tale after another of animals who, with nothing else in common, bond in the most unexpected ways." <br> --<b><i> Reader's Digest</i></b> <p/> "With aww-inducing photographs, the book highlights the most improbable animal connections." <br> --<b><i> National Geographic</i></b>
