“Animals I Have Known” by Dr. Tom Greening is a delightfully humorous and fanciful book of poetry, beautifully illustrated by Linda Hawkins. Tom Greening grew up with a beloved Llewellyn Setter, earned his doctorate of psychology at the University of Michigan, and has practiced as a psychotherapist for over fifty years. He has been given many life-time achievement awards for his valuable work as a psychotherapist, professor, scholarly writer, poet and journal editor. This background overflows into his poetry, gently teaching life lessons, entertaining the reader and creating an atmosphere of joy and humor throughout the book. However, Greening does not neglect the darker aspect of life and writes about such issues as loss and life challenges in a delicately enlightened way. The artwork is equally delightful in its funny and poignant illustrations invoking warmth, smiles, laughter and wonder. This book is for young and old animal lovers, imparting wisdom and humor to a wide variety of readers.Constance KelloggDoctoral Candidate
