DESCRIPTION:
DV8 said Great Book!. It's both incredibly informative and entertaining! Very well written. While some of the information could be found on Animal Planet, the majority of it could not. Also - the author lists the reference materials for which the information was garnered. It is not an in depth in any one subject, but it is a great place to start for anyone interested in animals or just behavior. I highly recommend this book!. Dayna said dont love it but dont hate it. nothing too interesting in this book you couldnt learn by watch animal planet for an hour. its just fact after fact about animals. there are some interesting facts of course but really im not excited about this
