Josh Cassidy gets a little uncomfortable talking about himself and even more so in the third-person. With that said, please proceed as if the following was written and narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Josh is an award-winning creative from Detroit, Michigan. He’s created advertising campaigns for an array of brands including Taco Bell, Hyundai and Vans. Josh's work has been covered in places such as Fast Company, The New Yorker, Mashable, and has been viewed everywhere from Times Square to the Super Bowl to the front page of Reddit. A member of Film Independent and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Josh is also passionate about film, art, sports, music and pretty much everything creative.
In his free time, he dabbles in various creative projects including his blog, “If _____Could Talk” which led to his first book (co-authored with Carla Butwin) “If Animals Could Talk.”
His other hobbies include eating breakfast, going to concerts, playing basketball, pledging allegiance to his Detroit sports teams and unapologetically calling soda, “pop” (no, you’re weird).

OUTSTANDING!!!

I saw someone post pictures of this book on Imgur along with a story about a grandmother who bought this book for their grandchild but didn't bother to open and read any of it.

I was expecting a children's book that is inappropriate for children and I was not disappointed!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 20, 2017

Ok this review is for those of you who HAVE read the book description and know exactly what you are purchasing. It is not a children's book despite its bright and massively appealing colors and illustrations. The description tells you, "NOT for all ages."
Some of these "animal quotes" are tamer than others and some are wildly inappropriate. Those that are wildly inappropriate are effing hilarious. If you don't have a sense of humor and hate anything remotely crude even in jest, then please don't buy this book. You'll just complain about how immature it is. But guess what? This book IS immature and LOL hilarious. If you skim at all through the pictures provided on the description as well, you will get a very good idea as to the language and humor so no surprise when your order actually arrives and you find the foulness that has been etched on these literary pages. At the very least each page is amusing, but if you don't bust out a hearty laugh at least once then you didn't get the joke. I purchased this as a small stocking stuffer for my older and much more immature 40 something year old brother. It's not meant to change his life or provide deep spiritual guidance in his life. It's a gag! Nothing more nothing less. ENJOY!

HILARIOUS. Buy this book...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

You must get a copy of this book. Each page is chock full of clever, multi-layered humor, complimented by original artwork of some of the world's most popular (and now funny) animals. Think you know what an elephant might be thinking? Think again. How about that manatee you donated money to save? Nope. You don't even know him...until you read this book.

Hell, you might even learn something. Ever wonder what a Slow Loris would say to you if it could talk? Probably not, since you likely don't even know what a Slow Loris is. However, after buying and reading this book, not only will you be able to impress your friends by identifying a Slow Loris at the zoo, but you'll be able to correctly quote him too.

GET YOUR COPY TODAY. I ordered four and haven't experienced one bit of buyer's remorse.

I Laughed. I Cried. I Laughed Some More. Wonderful book for expecting parents.

Read a news story about a Grandmother mistakenly sending this to her Grandkids. With a 13 year old in the house and a baby on the way, I couldn't resist, I had to see the book. Waited a few weeks for it to be in stock, but when it arrived, I could not stop laughing. Wonderful adult book that put a little smile on our faces while we are being overwhelmed with preparation for the new kid. NOT A KIDS BOOK, to be clear.

If you don't laugh, you're reading it wrong

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2016

You know when you buy a book off of amazon and regret it immediately? This is not one of those.
This book is absolutely outrageous. From front to back it hits you with clever, funny, probably actual things animals would say if they could talk. I keep mine on my desk for a quick laugh on days when my boss sucks up all my happiness. I also bought one for my mom who has a sense of humor that's a bit more on the dirty side, and she immediately bought a few more for her friends at work ( she works at an elementary school). Totally worth it.

Hilarious book FOR ADULTS.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

Parenting fail 110.... We made the mistake of leaving this book on the end table. The illustrations are eye-catching and our 3 year old begged us to read it to him. Thankfully he’s young and gullible enough that we could make up our own stories.

Moral of the story: if your kids are reading, keep it out of view as it contains swearing and adult content, unless you want to explain motor boating to a six year old!!
