Hello, my name is Leo and I'm a Lion

I don't think I'd be surprising anyone if I told them I have some very random thoughts go through my head. Sometimes I come up with something pretty awesome that I surprise myself, other times I really need to keep my mouth shut so I'm not given that classic "what are you talking about" look


Yep, this look. Photo is a screenshot :)

 Today I was playing with my dog and I couldn't help but wonder what he thought about. That led to me thinking about books that are told from the perspective of an animal and what kind of animal I would choose to write a story about.

There are a few animals I would love to give a voice to. Many of these have already been written about in the past, but I'd love to either be a Bengel tiger in Bangladesh; a rat who lives underneath the subway in New York City; a polar bear in the Arctic; a Fur Seal in Southland, New Zealand; a Koala in Australia .. during a bushfire, or a conniving Weka in the Able Tasman of New Zealand. 

So, I'm curious, if you could write a book from the perspective of any animal, what would it be and what would the setting be?
