Furry Logic: A Guide to Life's Little Challenges 

The Perfect Book To Gift Your Loved Ones This Christmas Or New Year!

Looking for the perfect book to gift your loved ones this Christmas or New Year? I would totally recommend this book!

Guaranteed to coax a smile from the grumpiest of grumps, FURRY LOGIC is a charming little book with a big heart and sly humor. Exquisitely detailed watercolor paintings depicting animals caught up in the joy and drudgery of life are paired with old adages given a new spin for our times.

Tender thoughts such as "Smile first thing in the morning-get it over with," "If you don't agree with me-it means you haven't been listening," and "You'll always be my best friend-you know too much" go a long way toward banishing the blahs and shaking off the blues.

Designer and illustrator Jane Seabrook's 40 universally appealing paintings of birds, bears, penguins, chipmunks, frogs, baboons, and more are rendered in delicate and biologically accurate detail using a tiny sable brush with a single hair at its tip. In the spirit of international best seller The Blue Day Book, FURRY LOGIC speaks to the human condition in a way we can all relate to and feel good about.

I saw this book at a school library conference and bought several copies to give as gifts. The animals have perfect facial expressions and body language to represent what we go through and feel everyday. I bought the book for anniversary presents, but it also suits certain people I know. It is perfect for relationships, for example, it says, "Never go to bed mad- stay up and fight." - A customer

New Zealand artist Jane Seabrook has succeeded in creating one of the most charming and amusing gift books ever! Using captivating watercolor animal portraits to illustrate aphorisms, many of them with new twists, she puts life into perspective on many levels--and does so with panache. A precariously balanced coqui frog says, "I try to take one day at a time...but sometimes several days attack me at once." - Mary

The Change-Your-Life Quote Book

by: Allen Klein

Customer Review

Shorty "Jillshari" says- "Since college I have begun a quote book of my own. I found quotes that were inspiring, romantic, and helped put an interesting spin on life and certain circumstances. I found this book, picked it up and had to buy it. There were just so many quotes that I liked and could identify with or aspire to, but I couldn't possibly copy all of them in my own quote book. So, this is a welcome addition to my fascination with quotes. And I really enjoy the fact that the quoted individuals range from Confucious to Joe Namath...it provides an interesting perspective.

If you enjoy reading tidbits on happiness, attitude, dreams, forgiveness, success, overcoming obstacles and more then this would be a book to pick up. Otherwise, leave it for someone else to appreciate."

Dennist Littrell says - "The quality of the insults and ironic misspeakings is very high. I read this through in one setting some years ago, compulsively, and had many a chuckle and some outright belly laughs, and then I read it again a couple of years later and laughed anew. Looking through it once again, I have to say, there was a lot I underappreciated.

Bottom line: worth both the candle and the plastic."
