| 1. |  | Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog
from HarperAudio
Customer Review:
I had a Lab when I was young. I loved the puppy, but due to circumstances with my parents it had to be given away. I was crushed. So this book did bring back memories because my pup was unruly. Unfortunately I never had a chance to work with her.
Anyway this book touches on how a dog can affect... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Collins
Price: $16.29
Customer Review:
How lucky we are that there are humans who dedicate their time/life to bridging the gaps to understanding the differences (and similarities) between species. My regret... is: not meeting Alex. I believe Irene's book is the next best thing. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
With nearly eighty reviews at the time I write this, there probably isn't much more stellar insight that I can give, which hasn't already been given so much more eloquently.

from Chronicle Books
Price: $48.00
Customer Review:
I bought this book for my husband, we are interested in birding. It turns out it probably will be better for our grandchild, as a good introduction to bird habitats. It's got everything the other reviewers said. But there are things missing: like, any idea of which birds are which and make which... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $34.65
Customer Review:
This is a fascinating book, but one that could be improved. However, the positive (FOR, below) much outweighs the negative (AGAINST, below).
FOR: This book is full of interesting material, most of which is well explained. It follows how eusocial insects construct complex insect societies that... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Buffalo are most famous in today's world for their appearance on the buffalo nickel. That they once roamed the North American plains by the millions is known only from movies, books, and oral histories.

Customer Review:
When I picked up this book, being a fan of the blog, I expected more fun stories about Charlie and his antics. I was pleasantly surprised in so many ways.

This book is fascinating and much easier to carry than the larger format books that I purchased previously. The reference section at the end is especially helpful.
