I read it! And it was good! Do I remember any animal fact? No.

I haven't written a review for a long time but this one I think deserves a little explanation for where I'm coming from.
This is a lovely book and I think most people with some interest in nature will enjoy it. I learnt some interesting things from it. I have nothing bad to say about its composition. Honestly, I feel a bit mean rating it so low.
Despite that, though, I felt it was lacking a certain something. It was pretty and kind and full of love, but somehow lacked passion, or maybe the right word would be obsession. It was the literary equivalent of lovely, warming porridge with no honey to sweeten it - pleasant in its own right, but bland.
