The Chatterbox Book of Cats and Dogs - sold
Anna Robinson (ed.) |
There's an ongoing and (usually) good-natured debate between self-proclaimed cat people and their canine-preferring counterparts over which is superior. Cats are typically regarded as fastidious, aloof and dignified creatures, while dogs are prized most for loyalty, fun and companionship. Dogs have long been revered for their hunting, herding and protective abilities while cats were worshiped as far back as ancient Egypt.
Regardless of your preference, there is no shortage of reading material. It seems authors and artists feel strongly about beloved pets, and not just for children's books. Enjoy 25 gorgeous dog and cat-themed books from the early 20th century and earlier.
