Book Review
 By Rama Gaind PS News Books Animal Tales 1: The Million Paws Puppy By Chris Kunz (Random House, $9.95, softcover, 70 pages) Animal Tales 2: Ruby’s Misadventure By Helen Kelly (Random House, $9.95, softcover, 77 pages) Animal Tales 3: Double Trouble By Helen Kelly (Random House, $9.95, softcover, 83 pages) Animal Tales 4: An Unexpected Arrival By Jess Black (Random House, $9.95, softcover, 76 pages) All animal lovers, young and old, will enjoy this delightful adventure series— endorsed by the RSPCA—that’s aimed at helping all creatures great and small. Perfect for children aged 6-10 years, each book is a complete story featuring a new escapade with Cassie Bannerman, 9, her inseparable canine companion, Ripper, friend Ben Stoppard, the son of vet Dr Joe, and their English sheepdog, Florence.  Animal Tales #1-4 is a collection, published by Random House, which has been endorsed by the RSPCA. In The Million Paws Puppy, the foursome participate in the welfare organisation’s annual fundraiser and rescue a runaway puppy; Ruby’s Misadventure sees them racing against time to find the cause of a cat’s serious illness; two well-behaved terriers turn mischievous when their elderly owner goes into hospital for an operation in Double Trouble; and a visit to an RSPCA farm results in a surprising discovery in An Unexpected Arrival. The RSPCA, who will receive royalties from every Animal Tales book sold, deserve to be supported since this community-based charity works tirelessly to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. Edition 311, 1 May 2012
