Summer Reading To Get Your Paws On

As the weather begins to hint at the warmer weather of summer and the prospect of more time to relax, now is the time to look for some books to fill your newly found spare time. Lucky for us, there are plenty of great books that would make for some light reading over any vacation.

• Your Cat Interpreter by David Alderton: I just picked this book up today for a bargain price. It's about all the little things you want to know about your cat. I have read a portion of this book and so far it has been great. All the information has been divided up into easy to read chunks. This book is great if you're looking for a book that's easy to pick up and put down.


• Mutt Book by David Alderton: This book is by the same author and I took a look through it. The premise is interesting. It's all about decoding your dog's heritage with the help of pictures to identify your dog's features. I was tempted to pick this one up as well and I think this would be a fun project to do with some friends.


• Marley and Me by John Grogan: I've heard great reviews about this book and it's on my reading list. It follows the story of a couple who gets a Labrador Retriever puppy to practice for children only to find that the dog causes more problems than most kids ever would. This would be a great beach read.


• Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies: This is one of my favorite books. I decided to throw this one in here since it is a unique piece of fiction. It is from the point of view of a red deer. It follows his tale as he ventures across Scotland in an attempt to save his herd from its evil leader. This is a little longer than the others and will take up more time this summer.

Hopefully, one of these will strike your interest and offer some entertainment this summer.
