BEST REALISTIC TALKING ANIMAL BOOKS
Best books for children about talking animals. I have compiled this list because I always had trouble finding books for my daughter that weren't too sad or overly sentimental. It led me to write my own book about a talking dog, and I still appreciate others, especially the original 101 Dalmatians (much better than the Disney version)
Score
