World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments by Aimee Nezhukumatathil

dgrachel's review against another edition

I started this for my local indie bookstore's reading challenge. I had hoped for essays on nature. This is a memoir with animal facts woven into the stories from her childhood. I'm not a fan of memoir in general, and this suffers from disappointing expectations.
