This is the first in a line of four books within the National Geographic Kids Chapters series that explore unexpected animal bonds. In this book you'll meet four unlikely pairings, including Billy and Lilly. Billy the boxer adopted Lilly the goat when she was abandoned by her mother. Billy and Lilly are rarely apart since Billy has taken on the role of Lilly's protector, caretaker, and constant companion. This and the other stories in this book will enchant readers and empower them to devour the more text-heavy "grown up" style of the book, while still keeping the story easily digestable for a hestitant reader.

By Spudman
People can learn from the animals, especially the ones in this book. Animals of different species become friends and exhibit caring, tolerance, and genuine affection. Here's a high interest book for young readers with heart warming stories written in manageable language and sprinkled with wonderful photographs. I like that the author even provides pronunciation help for many of the difficult or unfamiliar vocabulary words.This is a National Geographic KIDS book, but even this old kid enjoyed it immensely.
