Betty White is America’s sweetheart, but her heart belongs to her four-legged friends at the zoo! The multi-Emmy Award® winner, who admits to preferring animals to humans (“They’re unconditionally loving!”), has been a lifelong animal welfare advocate and Betty & Friends, a book she’s worked on for more than a decade, is a love letter to her furry pals. In these intimate and funny stories, Betty takes us on a private tour of her favorite animals—from Gita the elephant, whom Betty used to take for walks, to Kelly the silverback gorilla, whom Betty has known since his birth in 1987. Then there are the giraffes, lizards, koalas—it’s a majestic menagerie that comes to life through breathtaking photos and, of course, Betty’s devoted eyes.

I enjoyed her book so much. The pictures of her Zoo animal friends were beautiful. It was nice to learn about the different Zoos and what they are doing for the animals and conservation. I knew when I bought the book that it would be mostly about the animals so wasn't expecting it to be about her life, as such. I've always enjoyed Betty as an actress and have admired all her years of working for the animals.

Enjoyable to read!

Emphasis on little. Nice photos, not much writing. She actually seems to have an interesting story to tell about her life with/preference for animals, but doesn't actually say much. A little overpriced for the content.
