Pets and Animal Friends
 Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards - Paintings
by Susan Seddon Boulet and text by John Nagiecki
"To the ancients, all things in nature had sacred or spiritual meaning. The world was inhabited by the higher beings, who took the form of fantastical creatures that were part animal, part human, and exceedingly powerful." Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards are a great tool in learning about animal spirits visually and intellectually. Boulet's paintings are exceptionally distinct, fascinating, and imaginative. Each painting is accompanied by informative and intriguing text, describing the animal's power and symbolism in various cultures. Each image resonates with an ethereal energy and speaks in the language of the soul. Reviewed by Renee Rathmann.

 Animal-Speak
by Ted Andrews
The universe speaks in symbols, synchronicitites and sudden inspiration to those who listen. By acknowledging the sacredness of life, we deepen our connection to nature while gaining clearer insight into our own lives. Animal-Speak reveals the subtle guidance that animals share with us. Bridging the beliefs of our ancestors that Spirit Guides often use animals or animal imagery to convey their purpose to humans, Ted Andrews explores the role of nature, spirit totems and the relationship between predator and prey. Included in this book are chapters on reading signs and omens, meditations to connect with your spirit guides and a comprehensive dictionary of the archetypal powers of animal medicine.

 What Cats Teach Us
by Glen Dromgoole
Destined to be a favorite with every cat-lover on your gift list, What Cats Teach Us is a touching combination of image and word. Split into five sections, each photo essay explores topics such as self-improvement, everyday living, and getting along with others. Gentle lessons are taught with a pinch of humor as photogenic (and not-so-photogenic) cats explore life's obstacles and rewards with a lick of a paw, a bat of a whisker, and a flick of a tail. The book closes with "Don't hesitate to show affection to those you love" and this would indeed be a perfect gift to those loved ones in your life!
