Being an animal lover myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this book of fantastic photographs of animals Betty White has met and got to know in various zoos. She gives some interesting facts about the animals, shares her special one-on-one encounters she's had with many and manages to include some humor as well. The only thing I object to was that she gives "Mother Nature" credit for the animals instead of God, the creator. This book is centered around the photographs that are true works of art. Tad Motoyama, the L.A. Zoo's official photographer, gave her some of his photos that she chose to share with the world through this book.
My favorite experience she shared was that she developed a bond with a baby gorilla named Lulu, and when it was older, it blew her kisses. Years later when visiting another zoo, she saw a gorilla do the same thing and mentioned that Lulu used to do that with her too. It turned out that was the same gorilla!
I highly recommend this as a must read for all animal lovers--a great animal book and a fast read with no boring parts! I loved it!
