"Ganzert, the president of the American Humane Association, along with Angel Animals Network founders Allen and Linda Anderson, has compiled a delightful behind-the-scenes glimpse into how trainers are able to coax performances out of animal actors, from horses to bears, dogs to cats, snakes to maggots," the review reads. "Animal lovers will revel in these fun tales of animal actors and will be gratified by the AHA's determination to keep them safe."

"Animal Stars" will be published by New World Library on September 18(th )and offers unprecedented access to the fascinating world of animals and animal trainers in today's film and television industry -- and the celebrities they work with. World-class Hollywood animal trainers offer bonus tips for training pets after each chapter, and film icons like Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts, Ewan McGregor, and Hailee Steinfeld share personal recollections about working with the animal stars who stole their hearts.

The book is currently on both the Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble Booksellers bestseller lists and due to this overwhelming popular demand, New World Library has now released the e-book edition to all of its major e-book retail partners, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Google Play, and Kobo. As an added bonus, all books ordered between now and September 30(th) come with a free gift - your choice of a commemorative "Animal Stars" tote bag or coffee mug!
