The illustrations are really well done, the only problem with them is that they are so small on the Kindle screen, only taking up less than the top half of the page so you can't appreciate them to their full extent. If they had of been sized correctly they may have lifted the average written tale to a higher enjoyment level.  The storyline itself is pretty weak, even in a world where different types of animals talk to each other as well as humans, if the threat is going to be a pack of predators like coyotes eating them, those predators need to follow those sorts of animals' natural behaviour. Spoilers follow - why would a hungry pick give up a trapped larger meal in the dog to go after a bird that odds are will be able to fly away before they get it? Plus for a children's book why refer to coyotes as evil, for simply hunting?  They are doing it to eat, not for sport or to hang a human child or small dog they kill on their den walls at home.
