Description
This is the first in a line of four books within the National Geographic Kids Chapters series that explore unexpected animal bonds. In this book you'll meet four unlikely pairings, including Billy and Lilly. Billy the boxer adopted Lilly the goat when she was abandoned by her mother. Billy and Lilly are rarely apart since Billy has taken on the role of Lilly's protector, caretaker, and constant companion. This and the other stories in this book will enchant readers and empower them to devour the more text-heavy "grown up" style of the book, while still keeping the story easily digestable for a hestitant reader.

        Animal lovers looking for nonfiction accounts of admirable creatures will appreciate these small-format titles. Each book contains several stories of heroic and/or devoted creatures, broken into entertaining, easy-to-read chapters and studded with background information and color photographs. Some, like lovable signing gorilla Koko, have already had books devoted to them, but these slim, unintimidating volumes are solid choices. Reading list, websites. Ind.
