This is such a wonderful little book. The first one was given to me by my sister several years ago, I have since bought maybe 8 more for gifts. I love the spiral bound one, it is on my kitchen cabinet. I change the page every couple of days, and get a smile each time. It doesn't matter how many times I have gone through it, it is always funny. JUST LOVE TT.

This is a great book for kids and grandpas too. It is fun reading and you can laugh at just about every page. Fun pictures as well.

I recommend this one for all grandparents to have on the bed stand in the room where the kids sleep.

This review is from: The Pick of Furry Logic (Spiral-bound)

I have Furry Logic, Laugh at Life and Wild Wisdom and this book contains favorite selections from these three.

All of these books make me smile whenever I open them up and are guaranteed to brighten my day. The paintings are simply charming and the quotations are perfect.

Great little gifts for just about anyone on your list -- and you owe it to yourself to get one (or all of them) just for you.
