James Herriot, a country vet, has long been one of my favorite authors. If you ever read just one of his books, you'll be wanting to read the others. The All Creatures series is one of the most heartfelt and heartwarming stories ever, written by a man who thoroughly loved his work and the land he so vividly describes. You will come to treasure the characters in his stories, both animal and human, as Mr. Herriot did. WONDERFUL BOOK! I highly recommend this for children as well as adults!
I purchased this book for my niece & nephew because my children loved it. They received this book as a Christmas gift many years ago. It was one of their favorite "read-aloud" books. The pictures are delightful and eye-catching. The book is a collection of short stores about the animals James Herriot met as a veterinarian. The stories have the right blend of comical, delightful and real. All of these stories are appropriate for children of all ages. If you are looking for a book that will gently teach love & responsibility toward animals, this is the book.
I love the PBS series about James Herriot and his Vet practice in Yorkshire ! These stories are some of his favorite so I thought I’d read them to my grandchildren ! They don’t sit still for longer than a few minutes but after over 45 mins listening to these stories , they asked for yet another ! Absolutely wonderful stories and very well written ! I highly recommend this book ! Illustrations are rich and colorful ! Best childrens’ book ever !!!!

I was looking for something to read to children that was interesting and that also contained good, uplifting material. These are wonderful stories told by an English veterinarian from his practice in the first half of the 20th century. Based in real life, they showcase interesting animals and the people who care about them. No blood, no gore, just good clean fun!
