 A wonderfully presented guide to British animals January 23, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I discovered this book when I was a child and it really helped to nourish the interest in animals and the natural world that I still have today.
It is filled with beautiful illustrations which actually do look like the animals they're supposed to portray, unlike many other wildlife guides I've seen.
Each wild animal has a double page dedicated to it with descriptions, illustrations and a colour photograph showing its behaviour and the creature itself. There is also a section on farm animals in which there is a brief description and an illustration of the various farm breeds you might see in Britain.
There is a also a section to help you to understand the basic physiology of some animals, a guide to fieldcraft and information on how to go out and watch animals for yourself.
I have found this a really useful book over the years and I think that anyone, young or older, with an interest in wildlife should consider adding it to their bookshelf.
