I love this book! This is the story of a cat that due to an infection in the first few weeks of his life, looses both his eyes. It is also the story about the love and companionship that helps him overcome this set back in his life. I have lived with cats most of my life and this book really hits home. Its such a touching story about how no matter what life throws at an animal, it still has the capacity to love and deserves a chance at life!

This is such a wonderful story! Using what seems like an Indian legend and animals, the story teaches about keeping promises and being loyal. I feel it is a great book to read for children or adults. I loved it!

This book is full of wonderful animal pictures and bits of wisdom. I've thought of taking some of the pictures out of the book and framing them, but the book is so well done, I hate to tear the pages out! I leave this book out so I can open it up and glance at the innocent faces when I'm feeling a little gloomy. It is guaranteed to cheer a person up!

Whether you're a Lincoln buff or a history nut, this book will make your mouth water! This book has information that I've never read before and pictures of Lincoln and things pertaining to Lincoln that I've never seen before! This is one of the best Lincoln books that I've looked at. It's well worth the price!

Everyone has asked the questions, "Why me?" and "Why does God allow bad things to happen?" This book answers those questions in such a way that I really felt this was a true story! God must have spoken to this writer in order for him to write in such a beautiful, believeable way! It was so easy picturing God having these conversations! At first I wasn't going to read it because a child is killed, but I'm greatful I did because this book answers those questions above. I need to read the book again and highlight the parts that touched me most and then pass it on to family and friends! If it doesn't touch your heart, you probably don't have one!
