My Review


This was a very interesting book. Not only does it have a beautiful keepsake cover but the variety of stories/essays were delightful. Each was very interesting and unique in its own way. I found some of these stories beautiful and poetic at times. Some emurse you in a wonderful world of nature. I really enjoyed the story with the alligator in. It was exciting and unexpected at times. I just wish that the stories/essays were longer. I loved the variety of writers. I found Rachel Carsons story about the sea so beautiful and enjoyable. I actually felt like I was there. Could feel the emotions flowing through the words. My all time favourite story was the study of the praying mantis. Although you know whats going to happen to those poor males. It was fascinating learning about them and I learnt a few things I didn't know. This book is a great introduction to some wonderful subjects. This book would be great for nature lovers especially those who love a wider variety of nature. It's great for some light reading on afternoon.

Many thanks to the author and publishers for putting together some interesting stories.
