The Inner World of Farm Animals: Their Amazing Intellectual, Emotional and Social Capacities by Amy Hatkoff

5.0

A beautiful book! The pictures of former farm animals now living in sanctuaries are just exquisite. The text shares their stories as well as research into the habits, emotions and intellects of different animals. (Who knew that ducks have regional accents?) It's a fast read--about an hour--except that every photo is such a delight that it's kind of hard to turn the page.

This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves animals and particularly for someone who needs a little nudge toward ethical eating. It's a happy book--no gruesome tales of factory farms--but I don't know how anyone could read it and continue to eat animals.
