Each chapter [of All Things Wise and Wonderful] is a separate vignette which is filled with drama and emotion, particularly the case of a beautiful collie—"mouth gaping, tongue lolling, eyes staring lifelessly"—which Herriot revives. All in all, this is another remarkable and engrossing view of humans and beasts, and YA's will look forward to the next which will surely be titled The Lord God Made Them All. (p. 131)
