CIA Tried to Use Cat for Spying," "Beavers Weave Stolen Cash into a Dam Near Baton Rouge," "Ex-ambulance Driver Saves Fish with Kiss of Life." These sixteen animal stories are drawn from news reports around the world. There's one about birds who are too tired to migrate-and travel by car instead, a greyhound that started winning races only after he got contact lenses, and a parrot who foiled a burglary to his owner's apartment. While the stories stick to the facts, the full-color paintings are amusing flights of fancy. Author's note. Sources.
