Summary
Add a SummaryThis is a great read for reluctant readers. Each Unlikely Friendship is presented as its own short selection with pictures. Many of the stories are very cute

Who can resist a book cover that shows a tiny monkey lovingly hugging a bird? Not my family. This is a fantastic book containing 47 heartwarming stories of “unlikely friendships” in the animal kingdom. Each story has photos to go along with it, so it’s not necessary for the reader to actually “read” each tale - the picture tells it all. Small children will be fascinated by the photos of the rat cuddling a snake, something highly unexpected and yet there it is! The author, Jennifer Holland, writes for National Geographic magazine and each of these true animal tales will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. It’s a great book for everyone, young and old alike.
