That anecdote about dog-earing doesn’t quite capture the fact I use an animal bookmark for the majority of my page-saving needs. I flip between it and a bookmark a professor picked up for me in Tasmania when I was in graduate school. The animal bookmark is a gold rabbit and I had to have a friend track it down after I saw it in a store, got kicked out of the store during a fire alarm, and then never actually got to purchase it. Fortunately, you don’t need to do anything fancy or ask for any favors here. I’ve rounded up 50 amazing, unique, fun, clever, and cute animal bookmarks. The bulk of these are super affordable finds, while a few land on the pricier side—for when you want to treat yourself. Whatever your creature preference, chances are there are many perfect animal bookmarks for you.
