I've heard a lot of good things about Geronimo Stilton.

Oh you mean books with cartoon animals? :B

I read this book recently, it's so fun and twisted http://www.amazon.com/13-Lives-Capt...../dp/1585677248

Maybe, maybe not. I dunno, I like magical animals more than I like cartoon animals. :0

Don't be fooled, it's by no means a comic book, the story itself is pretty awesome.

IT'S A BLUE BEAR BORN FROM A WALNUT, that must be pretty magical :U

Oh, I've recently been reading all of Walter Moers' books too. They're really very good, though I'd recommend Rumo and [url=http://www.amazon.com/Alchemasters-Apprentice-Novel-Walter-Moers/dp/159020218X/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1278803481&sr=1-1-fkmr1The Alchemaster's Apprentice[/url] over Bluebear, though Bluebear is good too. :)

Bowrll: all four of Moers' books are extremely fun fantasy adventure novels, and not cartoony at all - some of them are fairly dark and violent in parts. Each book features a different talking, intelligent Zamonian animal as the protagonist. There's a Wolperting (anthropomorphized dog with horns), a dinosaur, a cat and a bear.

Sorry all the transformation books I know are sexual

The Abandoned (aka Jennie) by Paul Gallico

It's a book from the early sixties about a boy who becomes a cat and gets taken in by a stray called Jennie who teaches him. It's a really heartfelt book and makes me cry a lot ;_;

Oooh I like the sound of this :0

It's a somewhat rare book, expect to put down $20+ to find it.

http://www.amazon.com/Abandoned-Pau.....dp/1558820973/ was the last print run.

Well, the only books i could possibly recommend are in a series of four
Freedom's Landing
Freedom's Choice
Freedom's Challenge
Freedom's Ransom

Now I'll admit that the majority of the characters are human, but one of the main alien species is called the Catteni.. They're feline anthros, similar to a bobcat. And the main human character ends up falling in love with one of them :3

I think it's a great series, and something really worth reading ^^ It's got a sense of both Sci-fi and Fantasy in it :3

Doesn't have dragons, but it's still awesome, the graphic novel Mouse Guard. http://megadownload.net/file/mu/fxt.....-guard-1-6.zip

have u heard of this series called redwall its great.....

But yeah, um, I don't really know any that I cant think of! Though I'll have to check out the Dianna Wynne Jones book you listed. I liked a couple of her other books.

that bat book, do you hapen to be thinking about silver wing??? :P

I might be :0

Dragon's Bait Dragon's Bait Dragon's Bait

Dragon's Bait is basically Twilight except it was written first and is actually good

also Welkyn Weasels is LIKE Redwall but not. terrible. yeah. I actually think the author of Welkyn Weasels is just so damned good he literally at times stops caring because he's awesome enough to get away with it, I love that series

I dunno, Era Dragon?

Hmm....thinking manga, dragon ball has furries in it - and wonder if you'd like to read Dragon Half? Thats funny and a good read - and can link them for you.

Redwall is a great series, look for it.

Ack, I know some but forget their names - animals of farthing woods or something, think its about some animals who home gets knocked down so they move to another.

Eh, I don't really think Manga are worth the money I pay for them. I read them so quickly! Thanks anyways :3

HENCE, I know a link or two and you can read 'em for free.

Dragon ball
http://www.1000manga.com/Dragon_Ball/

Dragon Half
http://www.onemanga.com/Dragon_Half/

Maaaaybe I should have said those in the first place :P

First talking dragon thing off the top of my head is Bazil Broketail. I really liked that series.

I'm not too current on awesome talking animals books :I

Bazil Broketail is an awesome series.

1st book, out of 6
http://www.amazon.com/Bazil-Broketa...../dp/0451452062

In this world Dragons are intelligent and speak "common" and draconic with both winged versions and non-winged versions, the non-winged dragons are typically allied with and raised by humans in villages. Winged dragons are considered feral. Dragons are raised by the villages as soldiers, orphan-boys are paired with them as their "dragon-boy". The series deals with a Dragon "Bazil" and his boy "Relkin" as they join the army and the various battles and voyages that they have.

watch beast wars they all transform into animals
SURE AM GLAD I COULD HELP

idk, animal farm?

I READ THAT BOOK ALREADY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

loool i liked that show :I

Alan F. Troop's 4 part series The Dragon Delasangre. VERY good books. The first two were epic and the last two are pretty good, though the series could have ended on the second book.

It's a graphic novel series, but that doesn't stop it from being amazing (in fact it helps): http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/home.html

Any fo the Warcraft books dealing with the Dragon Aspects is good.

Lives of the Monster Dogs

I highly recommend the Age of Fire series by Erin Knight and here's some more I recommend:
Beast by Donna Jo Napoli: a take on Beauty and the Beast where the Prince is Persian and has to go through life as a lion
Animals of Farthing Wood series
Lions of Lingmere series by the same author
Dragon's Keep: This one is about a princess who has dragon blood in her but the only way it shows through is one dragon finger. All the rest of her is human. It does have a father dragon and his cute hatchlings in it a good amount of time though and they do talk.
Watership Down
The 101 Dalmatians
Black Beauty
Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton. It's about a very complex society of red dragons.

I have Tooth and Claw actually. It was really difficult for me to get through, I still haven't made it very far, haha.

Yeah all the politics involved can make it harder to get through.

Anything by Rick Riordan: http://www.rickriordan.com/
lots of talking animals, though the hero is a human

As for shows, I'm finding that lots of things by Osamu Tezuka to be quite furry

are you also looking for comic books perhaps?

This one might not be exactly what you're looking for
but this series is one of the best fantasy series to date

it's called A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin

the first book in the series is A Game of Thrones

I really really really highly recommend them

Catfantastic :V

Mercedies Lackey has a trilogy with a Gryphon as the main protagonist in a society of Humans and Gryphons trying to get along o.o

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Gryphon
Here's a WIKI page. It includes links to the other two in the series, and the ISBN number

I knoe

"Also the Gryphon series by Mercedes Lackey,"

Oh wow, I failed to parse that!

Reading is hard :(

Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_.....aw_%28novel%29 (Of course, don't read the plot summary on Wikipedia there, spoilers!)

I have this, but haven't read much yet. It's simply a dramatic plot where the main characters just happen to be dragons.

Ontop of the Bazil Broketail series above here are some of my other favorites.


The Wildcard series by George RR Martin (mosiac-style novel, guest authors write each chapter)
-(currently 16-17 books long)
Has lots of various non-sexual transformations throughout the series.

An alien virus is released on the planet earth, killing 9 out of ten of its victims, the remaining ten percent are transformed into various and wildly unpredictable things and a fraction of those are also given extraordinary powers instead/along with the transformation. This is a super-hero series which deals mostly with the lives of those given powers and those who have been changed.
http://www.wildcardsonline.com/books.html

Book one basically just lays out the background settings and introduces and first series of main characters and starts into the first "trilogy" of plotlines.
http://www.amazon.com/Wild-Cards-Bo...../dp/0743423801
(They've announced that they will be issuing another reprint of the first few books starting this coming November. )

Dragons Wild and Dragons Luck by Robert Asprin
http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Wild-Robert-Asprin/dp/0441014704/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278819811&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/Dragons-Luck-Robert-Asprin/dp/0441016804/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278819811&sr=1-2

and set in the same world/universe but deals with some of the minor characters
No-Quarter
http://www.amazon.com/NO-Quarter-Ro.....lp_edpp_img_in

The start of a series involving transformation and dragons.
Con-artist Griffen McCandles expects to be given a job working for his uncle Malcolm's company. Then Malcolm reveals that Griffen and his sister, Valerie, are near pureblood dragons, expected to chose sides in an international battlefield of magic and ancient rivalries. With assassins and a professional dragon-slayer on their trail, Griff and Val head for New Orleans (with no mention of Hurricane Katrina) to ally with Mose, an unlicensed casino operator and leader of a band of renegade dragons who hope Griff can bring them some respect as well as power.

Sadly the first book mostly sets up the series while the second one starts/continues various plotlines. The author unfortunetly died before producing any further books (No-Quarter was his last completed book). Otherwise it promised to be an excellent series.

Dragon Champion, Dragon Avenger, Dragon Outcast, Dragon Strike and Dragon Rule by E.E. Knight
Intelligent Flying dragons who are being hunted down.

http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Champion-Age-Fire-Book/dp/0451460472/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278820479&sr=1-1
After escaping those who killed his siblings, Young Auron, a rare, defenseless gray dragon, fears he might be the last of his breed. Armed with nothing but his claws and a boundless determination to survive, he sets off in search of his kind. But to find other dragons-or, at least, find out who's killing them off-Auron will have to search a world of mercenary elves, vicious humans, and dangers of all kinds. Finding allies in the strangest places-and himself along the way-Auron is on the trek of a lifetime.

I probably should have used this link in the first place: http://www.amazon.com/Tooth-Claw-Jo-Walton/dp/0765319519/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278820855&sr=8-1

You're a poop. I already own that boooooooook

Did you say that you had that book? No, you didn't! :P

I am not a poop.

Also, these books: http://www.amazon.com/Hawksong-Kieshara-One-Amelia-Atwater-Rhodes/dp/0385734921/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278821227&sr=8-1

Revolves around two kingdoms, one of people that can turn into hawks, the other that can turn into snakes.

Lmao I read those books too ahhahahahahahaha

Did you read all 5 of them, though? Maybe you might check out the rest of the series?

Also, is my Reader's Advisory skill up to snuff? Would those have been good fits for you? I mean, if you enjoyed them back then..

It was only a few years ago. They were alright, but it was too political. There wasn't enough SNAKE and HAWK it was all blah blah stop fighting blah blah i'm a dumbe queen whatev.

I read the first two but gave up on the third.

The inheritance saga is really good (Eragon, Eldest, Brisinger) by Christopher Paolini

Do not go by the movie, that mess is the worst interpretation ever! I want them to start over.

Also, in science fiction I would recommend the Dragonback series
http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Thief-First-Dragonback-Adventure/dp/0765342723/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278821152&sr=1-1
Deals with a symbiotic sentient dragon-like race

Orphaned, 14-year-old Jack Morgan, raised to be an assistant to his now-dead con-man uncle, Virgel, is on the run after being framed for a crime he didn't commit. He is hiding out in his uncle's spaceship--whose computer program, Virge, is a virtual Virgel--on a remote, uninhabited planet when another spaceship crashes after a fierce battle. The only survivor is the K'da warrior Draycos, a dragonlike being who cannot live apart from a symbiotic relationship with a humanoid host. Teaming up to clear Jack, the boy and Draycos embark on a fast-paced chase across space and into danger.

That sounds cute :D

Yes its a good series with a "Young adult"(Easy to read, no "adult" situations but has lots of action) rating, marvelously entertaining and overall a fun read for just about every book in the series.

<--- Bibliophile and actually has their own reading/library-room stuffed with books
x.x

hehe fellow bibliophile
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/729669/

Weeeeee *They hug back and wriggle excitedly against you.*

yep exactly, movies in your head.

Oh the Well of Souls series and most of Jack Chalker's other books
For transformation into various intelligent species, including fantasy-type-species.

Midnight at the Well of Souls - Jack L. Chalker - SciFi
http://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Well-Souls-Jack-Chalker/dp/0743435222/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1278822308&sr=1-1

The story's hero is freighter captain Nathan Brazil, a human male who is noted to be a maverick and a loner in "an age of extreme conformity." While carrying a motley collection of passengers on his ship, Brazil answers a distress call. Soon he finds himself on the Well World, a bizarre planet divided up into hundreds of biospheres and home to hundreds of different civilizations. Oh, and each newcomer to the planet can expect to find him- or herself transformed into a different species! "Midnight" charts the odyssey of Brazil, his allies, and his enemies across this strange and wondrous world as they seek the answer to an ancient mystery.

Though I have to warn you, Jack Chalker likes to "break" his main characters, its more noticeable later in the series (Against Mavra Chang notably, and two females in the book after that one (I think)) and in his other various books/series. His other series/books also typically have a rape in them.

I was thinking about trying that one/those ones a while ago.

I HEAR FRANZ KAFKA WROTE A TRANSFORMATION (TAME) BOOK ONCE

The bat books you're looking for is the Silverwing series by Kenneth Oppel (or is it Oppell?). They are fun and you should read them!

The first few Redwall books are okay, but the series starts repeating itself pretty quickly, so I wouldn't go past them.

The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik is supposed to be phenomenal. Historical fiction with talking dragons! There are several books in the series now.

I also hear good things about the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs, which is a bit more modern day paranormaly, but it's got werewolves and stuff.

I SHALL HAVE TO THINK OF MORE TO RECOMMEND

Oh yes, Piers Anthony's Xanth series, some of the books are written from the point of a questing fantasy-creature. Some transformation in them, but all of them are comedy books chock full of puns of various quality.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanth

And Terry Pratchet's Discworld series, also a comedy series which deals with various characters, some of which are "monsters" and other various beings.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld

George R. Dickson's "Dragon knight" series
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Knight

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dr.....and_the_George

The book tells the story of Jim Eckert, who is whisked from this world into an alternate world where magic is real and deadly. There he finds himself in the body of the dragon Gorbash, and must learn to deal with a dragon's-eye view of the world. He must also deal with both the friends and foes that Gorbash has already made. In this world, dragons universally refer to humans as "georges," based upon the past experience of St. George with one of their kind; hence the title.
Jim is on a quest to rescue his fiancee, Angie, who had preceded him in transportation to the magical world, but is being held hostage by Dark Powers. On the way, Jim and his companions must fight a band of "georges" and the rogue dragon Bryagh, who have sold their services to the Dark Powers and their creatures. The Dark Powers are ultimately planning an attack upon England (and eventually the entire world). Jim must also realize that the world to which he has been transported is real, not simply a game, and that what he does may have major effects, for good or ill, on the people of that world. At the end of the book, Jim (or Sir James, as he has come to be called in the alternate world) regains his human form and must decide whether to remain in the alternate world or return to our world and the life of an underpaid junior academic.

i have two book if this series these books are pain look for since but their worth it it funny of some stuff they get into

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka ( i saw somebody mentioned it above, but I dont think with the name)
Its about a man who is the sole supporter for his parents and sister, then suddenly finds himself transformed into a cockroach. Not being able to have a job, he eventually end up locked in a room his entire life as he has become more and more useless to the family that used to respect him so much.

I could write better summaries, if not for the fear that i would release ending spoilers x:

Read Bambi. It's MUCH different from the movie! I adore it.
Also Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, and The Plague Dogs if you can handle a depressing but incredibly deep, well-written novel.

Watership Down?! How come no one's mentioned this one. The book and the movie are both awesome ('course the book is better) and there's a "Tales From Watership Down" if you want more. Sorry, I don't have links, but everyone knows these books.
