Zusatztext Online buzz for AwkwardFamilyPetPhotos.com: "The folks who brought the Internet the face-palming absurdity that is Awkward Family Photos have struck comedy gold again with Awkward Family Pet Photos." --AOL "Hilariously awkward." --MSNBC.com "The genius minds behind the hilarious site Awkward Family Photos - which features cringe-worthy! embarrassing photos of fairly creepy! fashion-challenged families - have taken their collection of awkward photos to a whole new level with their hysterical new site! Awkward Family Pet Photos." -AnimalPlanet.com Praise for Awkward Family Photos : "This is the best book of embarrassing and strange photos of people who look like my family that I have ever seen." --Judd Apatow "A living! breathing! laugh-out-loud reminder that no matter how badly you dressed! how oddly you posed! and how weird Uncle Dave who lived in the basement was! somebody out there had it worse." --Jennifer Weiner! bestselling author of In Her Shoes "Being a test tube baby doesn't seem such a bad idea after looking at these folks. I laughed till it hurt. To paraphrase Tolstoy... every family is freaky in its own way. There's so much love here- but maybe a little more pain! or desperation! or bewilderment. I often feel slightly sad or guilty that I'm not closer with my own family- but looking at this bunch I sense we all have something in common and I'm far from being alone." --David Byrne "Anything that both makes me laugh and think my family isn't so embarrassing deserves to be a book." --Joel Stein!

I dare you to find a higher weep/snort ratio in any other publication." --Karen McCullah Lutz! screenwriter of Legally Blonde and The Ugly Truth " Awkward Family Photos is the funniest book that I've read in a long time. It reminds you that it's okay to laugh at yourself and celebrates the family that made you awkward in the first place." --Mia Kirshner! The L Word " Awkward Family Photos is absolutely hysterical! yet at the same time! it's a stunningly accurate photographic record of the late 20th century American family. Now I can be certain I was not alone in my awkwardness."  --Adam Herz! Writer! American Pie I! II!

Klappentext The authors of the New York Times bestseller Awkward Family Photos are back with a hilarious tribute to the unbreakable and sometimes uncomfortable bond between people and their pets.There are few things more rewarding than having a pet. They love us unconditionally, shower us with attention, and because of them, we actually live longer. So, what can possibly be awkward about our animal BFFs? Well . . . nothing. In fact, we're the awkward ones. We adore our pets, but let's face it-sometimes L-O-V-E makes us go a little overboard. Like giving them middle names, throwing them elaborate birthday parties, and making them a Christmas sweater to match with the rest of the family. Truth is, what they cherish most is our companionship. And maybe that's the reason we care about them so much-because for such simple pleasures, they allow us to be as awkward as we want.
