I really enjoyed this book! It was a real trip down memory lane. The book has all the animal stars of my youth - Clarence the cross-eyed lion, Flipper, Lassie, Benji, and others. They also have some from the 30s, 40s, and 50s that I saw on late night TV. Animal Actors has highlights all the way to the mid-90s (when the book was published). It was fun being reminded of who was in the cast of my favorite shows and movies. There were a lot of behind the scenes info as well as background on how the stars were "discovered". Lots of pictures as well as text - makes a great "talk-about" book!
