Paws, Tails and Tales by Angelina Dayan is a beautifully written anthology that captures the heartwarming and sometimes heart-wrenching stories of the animals in Freddy's world. With an entertaining touch, the animals portray unexpected resilience, love, and friendships. From Mum's devotion to her feline family to Momo's bond with Granny, each story is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and animals. While there are moments of sadness and fear, such as Uddy's disappearance and Misty's mysterious disappearance, there are also uplifting moments of attachment and love, like Max and Davy finding happiness after being separated from their mother and adopted by the town, Holly learning to trust humans, and Charlie's adventurous spirit leading him to settle into a secure environment.

Paws, Tails and Tales: Cat and Dog Stories from Freddy's Garden by Angelina Dayan is the second book of the Cat Stories from Freddy’s Garden series. Following the success of his first book, Freddy decides to open an atelier where his furry friends can come and share their incredible stories. His first guest, who unexpectedly turns out to be a pig, narrates how the courage and determination of his family helped them to keep him against all odds. Visitors, each with their own marvelous stories, keep coming in, much to Freddy’s delight.

Angelina Dayan’s Paws, Tails and Tales: Cat and Dog Stories from Freddy's Garden is just as amazing as the first book. I was delighted to have Freddy back; his engaging voice and that of his friends made it hard for me to put the book down. Angelina’s imagination makes their stories even more intriguing. I also love the way she paints their diverse traits and personalities. It helps to show how intelligent animals are, which is often more than we want to give them credit for. The book includes tales featuring adorable canines and felines in the voice of Freddy, his mum, and others. Apart from the ones penned by Angelina, it contains several equally charming stories by guest authors. Although it is the second book, it can be read as a standalone. The stories are easy to follow, and I would recommend the book to all animal lovers looking for a relaxing read.
