Our Price: $5.95
Our Price: $5.95
Our Price: $5.95
The popularity of feng shui has inevitably led to this takeoff on the craze: feng shui from the viewpoint of a cat. "Do not think of the box in the corner as a litter box. It is your Zen garden. Tilling the garden before and after planting it is relaxing and will refresh the spirit." Whether or not you take feng shui seriously, this book will amuse and delight. Secret #1: Play Is Genius! Secret #2: Look Deeper. Secret #3: Do What You Love!

Who better to coach us on the secrets of life than the masters of the here and now: dogs? With wonderfully whimsical art and scraps of wisdom straight from our canine companions, this appealing mini book offers a guide to everyday enlightenment. We humans would do well to follow the ways of our furry friends----love boldly, embrace surprise, be loyal, watch for opportunity, and just say yes---all while never missing the chance to feel the grass between our toes.
Need a laugh or words of inspiration? Pampered pooches offer up their own irreverent wit and kibbles of wisdom in this candid canine volume. Puppy photographs throughout.

Eye Like Stickers: Animals at Paws4Claws.com
For kids who enjoy repetition and are working on recognizing animals, this lift-the-flap board book will be well received. The young narrator has asked the zoo to send a pet (caregivers may need to explain that a zoo really would not do this). As each crate arrives, kids open the flap to reveal an animal. Then the narrator tells why the animal was sent back. It is interactive, amusing, and has a little surprise at the end. The simple, bright illustrations are set on sturdy white pages, and the shape of the crate and other hints in the picture will have kids quickly guessing which animal has arrived. This is the 25th anniversary edition. My Dog's The World's Best Dog is a valentine to dogs and dog people everywhere, full of whimsy and affection. Page after page captures a knowing moment in the relationship between people and dogs. Wylie, subject of the book, is Every Dog, and why is she the world's best dog? Count the ways: "There's not a mean bone in her body." "She knows when I'm coming-and gives the best greetings, even if I've only been gone for 45 seconds." "My dog loves my cat-which is not to say that the reverse is true. But that doesn't seem to bother her much. Come to think of it, nothing does." More than 400 flowers, animals, colored shapes, berries, lizards, clouds, fish, ferns, lobsters, cactus, bunnies, ladybugs, sunflowers, and shells are all included. Kids can mix, match, trade, collect, and even create their own stunning artwork with the most eye-catching stickers available!  These reusable stickers are fun, reusable, functional, and fantastic!

Eye Like Stickers: On The Farm Horse Show Read & Play Sticker Book at Paws4Claws.com
400 reusable stickers from the natural world that your kids will use them to mix, match, trade, collect, and create their own stunning artwork! Perfect for journals, scrapbooks, craft projects, homework assignments and so much more. It really works! Lower Ear Noogies. The Thumper. Lazy Man's Tetherball. Bobbing for Treats. The Hansel and Gretel: for an afternoon of fun, scamper about the house leaving a trail of plain popped popcorn in your wake.

97 Ways to Make a Dog Smile is a gift of pure pleasure for dogs and the owners who love them. Created by Jenny Langbehn, a veterinary nurse who really knows what makes dogs happy, it combines the creative gift of touch--unexpected ways to rub, massage, scratch, tickle, and knead--with imaginative play scenarios that are just loopy enough to ensure that your dog will be amused, whether he's laughing with you or at you. And to heighten the pleasure of both reader and dog, adorable full-color photographs of smiling dogs accompany each entry. Just look at those dogs (you might say), what a tail-wagging, chop-licking, howling good time they're having. And see if your dog doesn't agree.
On a rainy day or in the back seat of the car, what could be more fun to a young horse lover than an activity book packed with 80 horse-show stickers? Children will love to groom and tack up their sticker-steeds, preparing them for exciting English, Western, and Olympic events.

Reusable vinyl stickers include horses of different breeds and colors; various riders, instructors, and judges; poles and jumps; and all the paraphernalia of horse shows - tack, hats, boots, costumes, barrels, dressage letters, trail obstacles, flags, and, of course, ribbons and trophies. Children arrange the stickers on background scenes that include an indoor arena, a fenced paddock, a "backstage" trailer area, and a colorful country fair with a show ring.

Wonderful gift for children who love horses.
Horse Farm Read-and-Play Sticker Book Rock-a-Bye Farm All I Need To Know I Learned From My Cat
Our Price: $7.95
Our Price: $7.99
Our Price: $8.95
Kids who constantly have horses on their minds are going to love this book. The Horse Farm Read-and-Play Sticker Book draws young riders into the places they like best: the horse farm, the tack room, the stable, the paddock, and the stableyard. And with 75 full-color, reusable, heavy-duty vinyl stickers, kids can create their own equine dramas while at the same time learning important points about such essentials as grooming and tacking up.

The range of stickers is irresistable. There are foals, a barn cat (and a barn mouse), a vet, and a farrier. But there are also name plates for the horse stalls; saddles, brushes, helmets, and cowboy hats for the tack room; barrels and jumps for horse shows, plus championship ribbons; and a flock of chickens and a few barn swallows for the stableyard.
Little ones may well envy the animals on Rockabye Farm--every night the farmer personally rocks each of them to sleep. First "the Farmer rocks his baby. When the baby goes to sleep, the Farmer rocks his dog. When the dog is snoring loudly, the Farmer rocks his hen." No animal is too large or too small to receive a loving send-off into a night of slumber; even the cow and the horse are lulled to sleep with the help of a tractor and wagon. Hamm's simple, rhythmic text is perfectly accompanied by Brown's reassuring illustrations. Humorous touches include the initially drowsy farmer growing more alert with the exertion of putting his animals to sleep, until he, too, finally requires his own good-night rocking. This collaboration celebrates the affection and trust between caretakers and their charges; its contagious contentment will surely soothe youngsters. But parents of sleep-resistant children, beware: this farmer's rare standard of indulgence may be hard to live up to. In the years since we first published All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat, with over 2 million copies in print and the fastest-selling book in Workman’s history, one thing hasn’t changed—people are still starved for wisdom. Few oracles have dispensed as much common-sense truth as Binky, Suzy Becker's cat. "It's O.K. to wear the same thing every day." "Know all the sunny places." "Flaunt your hair loss." "Get mad when you're stepped on." Life lessons such as these and dozens of others propelled the book like a champagne cork to the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

Now, to celebrate the book's double-platinum milestone, there's a new edition: the original book, in a fresh cover, plus 48 new pages, including the Are You a Cat Person? quiz. The cat, Binky, is perspicacious and profound; the artist, Suzy, is utterly delightful; and the combined effect is one of immense and irresistible charm.

Fandex Cats Bad habits, bad attitudes, bad breath. With a weakness for bad outfits and having bad hair days. Dogs are no less bad than cats, so it was only a matter of time before, emboldened by the runaway success of Bad Cat, the #1 New York Times bestseller with 487,000 copies in print, dogs would be begging for the chance to speak out. Not since Kliban has there been a cat book this edgy. Edgy as in Bosco, the demonic Siamese with the out-of-focus eyes, razor-sharp fangs, and his own idea of Feng Shui. Or the half-shaved freak named Mr. Fliegel, who looks like a cross between a poodle and a lion. Mr. Fliegel shrugs and says, "Chicks dig me." Or Kato, resplendent in his Three Musketeers outfit: "One for all, blah blah blah . . . now just get me out of this @#%&ing costume!" Or Clark, whose hobby is eating other cats' food. Tina, who somehow always just misses the litter box . . . sucker. And the guilty-looking Clarence, caught with a Barbie doll in flagrante delicto. Clarence's defiant defense: "She was naked when I came in. . . ."

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and dog heroes are every bit as varied. From gentle therapy dogs visiting hospitalized children and the elderly, to fearless search-and-rescue dogs putting in long hours at disaster sites, dog heroes hold a special place in the hearts of animal lovers. Courageous, faithful, and hardworking, they want only to do their jobs and please their people.

The beautiful posters in Dog Heroes celebrate 30 animals who have given their all to help people in trouble. Dogs were on the scene after 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. They have found scared victims trapped in avalanches, collapsed mines, and burning buildings. Guide dogs give disabled people their independence, and therapy dogs bring sunshine into hospitals and nursing homes.
Hold Your Horses: Nuggets Of Truth For People Who Love Horses by Bonnie Timmons Horses of all breeds, colors, shapes, and sizes are perennially fascinating to equine enthusiasts of all ages. Collected in a perfect little pocket guide no horse lover will be able to resist, here are images of 96 breeds that call North America home — galloping, playing, grazing, working, or simply striking a pose.

For each breed readers will find a full-page photograph accompanied by at-a-glance conformation and historical facts. A small map shows where the breed originated, and additional information includes the horse’s special qualities and its most common uses. Homegrown favorites such as the Morgan, Appaloosa, and the less-well-known Nakota and Florida Cracker horses are featured along with imported breeds that have influenced native equine bloodlines, such as the Thoroughbred, Arabian, and Percheron.

With over 90 million pet cats in this country, it's clear: America cherishes its feline companions. Yet cat owners don't always have the time, or the know-how, to develop harmonious bonds with their furry friends. Many owners find themselves confounded by common feline behaviors, like scratching, biting, stalking, and pouncing.

What's a time-pressed cat lover to do?

A wagging tail means unconditional loyalty and love. Most dog owners want to return that affection in every way possible. But some of the common ways humans show love can be downright confusing to our pets, dogs are not furry little people.

In her latest releases, Arden Moore, a best-selling author and one of America's top pet experts, provides busy owners with simple ways to build healthy, harmonious relationships with their beloved dogs. Small adjustments in diet, exercise, and environment can make all the difference in creating better-adjusted pets.

It happens all the time. Just when Maxs owner thinks she has him figured out, he exhibits a bewildering fear of the neighbors skateboard. Or, despite endless corrections, Bailey still refuses to understand that she does not belong on the leather armchair.

Then there are the dogs that almost always behave appropriately and predictably but can still display a few surprise reactions in situations that disturb their routines. House guests might be ruining Busters sense of order, taking over his favorite room and distracting his humans from important things like fetch and dinner. And that dog park near Sadies new house is terrific, but she might be having a tough time understanding the rules of etiquette.

To all these situations and a hundred more, dog expert Arden Moore provides answers that clearly explain canine actions and reactions, and then helps readers with suggestions for modifying unacceptable behavior. For every canine misdeed, there is a human counter-response to fix the problem. Read about both sides of the story in these friendly questions and answers, taken from real-life situations with real dogs. There is hardly a behavior that will not have dog lovers nodding their heads in recognition.
Whether for twenty years pr two, time spent in caring for a cat and being owned by a cat will make every cat lover's life warmer,richer, and nine times happier. Heartwarming Stories About the Dogs We Love

by John Seidensticker and Susan Lumpkin Here is the extraordinary photographic journal of the three years Lynne Pomeranz spent studying, admiring, and photographing these magnificent animals. The inner lives and relationships of 25 horses emerge in intimate photographs accompanied by stirring text. Witness the dramatic competitions between stallions as they vie for supremacy, the tender bonds between mares and their offspring, and the joyful play of each springs newborn foals. The Pryor Mountain Mustangs will claim a special place in the hearts of horse lovers and nature enthusiasts of all ages.

A smart, focused Border Collie or Corgi might be an excellent agility athlete, while a scrappy little terrier satisfies his tunneling instincts in Earthdog trials. An eager-to-please, alert Poodle or Golden Retriever might shine in obedience, while a crowd-loving Whippet or Pit Bull mix thrives on the excitement of disc dog events. All-American mixed breeds can prove their mettle in almost any sport; find the right fit for your dog and watch him shine!

Canine Sports & Games presents the full range of possibilities and identifies canine abilities, instincts, and personalities that work well with each sport. Not sure about competitive sports? Swimming, hiking, and skiing are excellent opportunities for humans and their dogs to have fun together. And Canine Good Citizens, therapy dogs, and search-and-rescue dogs earn the respect and love of the people whose lives they touch. Enthusiastic owners will find suggestions for every kind of canine.

Horse Crazy! is a jam-packed treasure chest of a book that will keep horse-obsessed kids (ages eight and up) busy for hours on end. Nearly 400 pages of equine information are divided into three broad sections: In the Saddle (and the Stall and the Show Ring), In the Spotlight: Horses in the Arts, and In the Know: All About Horses.

Ask someone who works with horses how best to communicate with a balky colt and she will tell you that horses do not respond to human cajoling. To be successful the human must understand and work with, not against, the horse’s instincts, needs, and fears. When a trainer resorts to human teaching methods; reasoning, begging, bribing, even hugging and kissing the horse will become confused and unable to respond appropriately. But if horses are treated respectfully with methods they understand, everyone involved, animal and human, will be happier, safer, and more productive. Horse trainer and instructor Cherry Hill believes that every human/horse relationship benefits from a greater human understanding of what motivates horses, how they experience the world, what makes them happy, and what worries them. Journey through the equine mind with Hill as she explores all that makes a horse tick. How do his basic needs dictate his behavior and mood? What touches and tastes appeal to his senses? How does his flight or fight instinct dictate his response to sudden movements? The Backyard Bird-Lovers Guide by John Mahnken
