Beastars, Volume 1 was interesting. I liked it, but am not sure how the story will progress. It's a manga about animal students in a boarding school, and what happens when a tragedy strikes. The animal students are divided into herbivores and carnivores, so there are immediate issues at stake.

Animal Planet: Animal Bite, Baby Animals by Dorothea Deprisco, Animal Planet is a book about various animal species family life. It talks about live and egg birth, how long babies stay with their parents, what they eat, where they live, how they travel and more.

The photos in this book are vibrant. They are close that you feel as if you can touch the animals.

There are some special sections on that side of the page that that include cool animal facts, simple infographics, and illustrated maps of the Earth and the habitats as well as the short bits on "All Grown Up". The special sections will invite discussion and further investigation. They even have bits on "Just like Humans" where they show how human families interact in some of the various topics.

On the top of the page there are activities, further resources and an extensive Glossary.

While it's a million miles from the techno of Holden’s earlier career, its rhythms and hooks are infectious. The Animal Spirits is, put frankly, one of the most complex, immersive and impressive albums of the year.
Critic- Corrie Innes
Original Score: 5 out of 5

I finally got a chance to play Animal Crossing New Horizons. I have loved Animal Crossing since the Gamecube so it was great to be able to check this one out. There is a lot to do and it's real time so you can take your time with each thing. Being able to visit my friends on their islands and having them come visit me was a lot of fun. The crafting aspect of Animal Crossing is great too and adds an extra layer to the game.

Animal Planet Animal Atlas by Animal Atlas is a wonderful book for children of all ages. I especially liked how the book was categorized by continents and biomes. The pictures were colorful and really enhance the information. While the story does not go in detail about the animals it does provide a lot of facts that are interesting.

The book highlights Human and Roar. Human shows readers similarities between humans and animal behaviors. Roar shows conservation and endangered species facts that helps bring awareness. As the book is read, you feel like you are traveling throughout the world learning neat facts. It is a book that is perfect for kindergarteners and older. A great book for any child that enjoys nature, animals, and facts.

I received this advanced readers copy from Time Inc. Books and Liberty Street via NetGalley.

Grab the tissues, this one’s about to get upsetting. Marley & Me is a film that only animal lovers will understand and if you’re not an animal lover – why not? Released in 2008 to critical and commercial success, Marley & Me follows the life of one crazy Labrador: Marley and his family.

Aniston stars alongside Owen Wilson and gives a powerful and multi-faceted performance that is one of the best in her entire career. Aniston is a well-known animal lover and her emotion in this film is absolutely astounding. She plays the role with an understated brilliance that only she could.

This is an excellent adapatation. The problems of powerful creatures who, in some cases, are part human/part animal is something I think we can all relate to.

This is one of few Poe works that I have read but I am stunned at his ability to scare his reader.

This story is dark, disturbing and horrific. Told from the perspective of a man made angry and aggressive from an alcohol addiction, this story moves through the motions of his life. From happy young animal loving boy, to wife and animal abuser.

Karma's a bitch, don't fuck with cats!
