A book of parables featuring assorted animals. This is my least favorite of his books. Some of the stories were interesting, but some were too sad for me.
2.5 stars.

Book #38 in 2013 (Audio)
Calico Joe by John Grisham. Read by Erik Singer.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I went in thinking it would be okay, but not that gripping, being about baseball and all, but it was about so much more than that: the father-son relationship, hero worship, decisions that can change not just your life forever, but someone else's too.
Highly recommend.
5 stars.
