Very, very interesting. I found this book by way of another pet communicator who, after doing a reading on my pets, recommended this book. I can't say I learned how to communicate telepathically with my pets, but... hmmm... What Penelope Smith says makes sense: quiet mind is the first step for so many other things, from good health to artistic creation to, yes, it certainly seems possible, telepathically communicating with animals. The trouble is, sorting out the junk from genuine communication. So, in all, so far, I haven't gotten all that much from this book. But I'm very glad Penelope Smith wrote it. I know I will come back and re-read it.
