Cutest widdle thing you ever saw on Amazon

WASHINGTON — For a period of time two weekends ago, the ninth most popular book on Amazon.com , out of all the thousands of books on the site, was the cutest widdle thing you ever saw, yes it was, because of all the itty-bitty facey-waces and the whisker-poos and especially the snuggle-muffin babies with their teeny feet.

The book is called "Unlikely Friendships." It depicts 47 incidents of interspecies affection, such as the cover image, in which a wee little rhesus monkey gently rests his head on the back of a white dove. Or the male pit bull who allows a flock of chicks to use him as a raft in the swimming pool. A raft! In the swimming pool! A pit bull and baby chicks, are you hearing this?

The author of this magnificent tome is Jennifer Holland, a Washington-based senior writer for National Geographic. Holland says there are also words, but we did not notice them as on page 127 there is a big picture of a greyhound and an owl curling up on the couch to watch television.

It turns out these adorably improbable pairings are a whole subgenre on Amazon, the reading equivalent of taking a Xanax, guaranteed to gently stroke your brain into calmness. Some sort of a psycho-socio-anthro-ologist person would probably look at this book and say that it has nothing to do with cuteness and really symbolizes how, deep down, humans believe that love comes in many forms, and that we all can really get along if we just look past surface differences.

Meanwhile, this article was supposed to review the book, but I forgot.

Wait, here: Awww.
