My Review
An Armful of Animals is a sweet, lovely read about the author's childhood, his plethora of pets, and his calling to become a vet and help other animals.
Each story is about a different animal (his pet dog, Poucher; his grey parrot; etc), and I really enjoyed the little snippets into how they both enriched the author's life and helped him realize he was meant to be a vet, helping animals in any way he could.
There's a lot of heart and emotion in the book, and anyone who loves reading about animals will enjoy this.
I give An Armful of Animals 4 stars.
