Book Reviews of The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild
Book Review: a collection of essays by Craig Childs
Summary: 5 Stars
The Animal Dialogues Uncommon Encounters in the Wild is a collection of essays by Craig Childs. Child's encounter with a bear was both touching and frightening. The bear was at the edge of his grandparents' property in Arizona. Grabbing his camera, he stalked the bear--almost running into it. I am fascinated with black bears but do not want to have a close encounter with one. I could not help but cringe as I read about the porcupine. Child assisted a dog owner in removing quills from the roof of the puppy's mouth. Porcupines often fall out of trees and at time poke themselves with a quill. The quills do not carry infections--perhaps to protect the porcupine from their self inflicted injuries.
Child's takes the reader on a journey into the wilds and oceans as he explores the animal kingdom. From bears to mosquitos, Child is fascinated by them all.
Summary of The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild
THE ANIMAL DIALOGUES tells of Craig Childs' own chilling experiences among the grizzlies of the Arctic, sharks off the coast of British Columbia and in the turquoise waters of Central America, jaguars in the bush of northern Mexico, mountain lions, elk, Bighorn Sheep, and others. More than chilling, however, these stories are lyrical, enchanting, and reach beyond what one commonly assumes an "animal story" is or should be. THE ANIMAL DIALOGUES is a book about another world that exists alongside our own, an entire realm of languages and interactions that humans rarely get the chance to witness.Humor Books
