All Creatures Great and Small
I already have a beautiful set in hardback but wanted some on my iPad with the kindle app. I am so disappointed that you haven't made them available with the kindle device. Please change thus soon.K. Hirschfeld
All Creatures Great and Small
I have always loved animals, so this series was a natural one for me to pick up. The book can be read as though it were full of short stories, but reads even better as a complete story. James Herriot shares his success, failure, and humor in this beautifully written book.

I bought this edition as a gift for a graduating vet student (every vet needs a copy in his or her office). The book is a classic, and the hardcover is suitable for gifting.
All Creatures Great and Small
As a child, I grew up in a family that devoured the stories of James Herriot. You will laugh, cry, smile at the stories that are shared with the readers. At times I feel like I am right there by his side as he operates on an animal.At the present, I am re-reading the whole series. PBS movies are good-but not as good as the books.This books deals with the beginnings of his vet practice, and I get a kick out of James being an "uncle" to a dog and a pig.
All Creatures Great and Small
All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot and the other books in the series have been favorites of mine since I was a teenager. I love the individual stories about the animals, the laconic farmers, the flighty Siegfried and the irascible Tristan. I feel as though Trickie Woo is a part of my family, and the story about the thermometer disappearing into the cow is one of the funniest stories I've ever read.These stories are delightful to read when you need a pick-me-up. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always amusing, Herriot's love of the animals he serves comes through loud and clear. The only problem is that once I start reading them, I am unable to put them down!

If you want to become a vet, read this book. It shows the effort that a country vet had to make before the computer age. Very touching.
