Carli Davidson

There’s a whole lot of shakin’ going on in this book! All kinds of cats shaking their heads, with photographer Carli Davidson catching them in all aspects of the shaking. Eyes squinted, teeth bared, and tongues out, these are not glamour poses! But all the cats are still adorable. The author explains how she got the cats to shake, many with a needed ear cleaning, and she goes on to promote the adoption of rescue cats. This is a great book for cat lovers as well as for people who appreciate unusual photography.… (mehr)

TOP DOG is a book that is going to appeal to dog lovers.

In this book Carli has fun with doggone expressions, like: "Two Shakes of a Dog's Tail" and "Working Like a Dog".

Some expressions work better than others, but the photos of the dogs are beautiful and silly and you aren't likely to hear complaints.

A variety of breeds are shown. There are Pitbulls, Great Danes and even a Goldendoodle. At the end of the book the dogs are introduced to the reader. To one-up the fun to include something 'educational' you can discuss the expressions and how they might have originated. And you can discuss the relative sizes of the dogs and the work they might have been bred to do.… (mehr)

Another enjoyable, entertaining book that brings tons of laughs. While I am more of a dog lover, the cats in this book were funny. In fact, they just might be more funny then the dogs and puppies in the other books. Yet, there were some pictures of some of the cats that made them look outright possessed. What with no faces and evil looks in their eyes. However the pictures were still entertaining. What I really liked were the ones with their tongues sticking out or the ones with one eye closed. I could spend hours looking through all of the pictures in this book. Thus the reason this book makes a good table top book as you will want to keep it out on the table for friends and guests to look at as well. A good conversation starter.… (mehr)
