For a very long time, Animals were thought to be boring, senseless creatures with no intelligence. This book is all about proving the people who thought that wrong. The book Why do Pandas do Handstands by Augustus Brown,is written kind of strangely in my opinion. It is split into sections, with a brief summary of each section, and then lists off peculiar facts, such as mice sing to their partners, or that caterpillars can roar, or that parrots understand the concept of zero. While the general idea of the book is good, I thought that this might have been better if the author had wrote one book on each section, and then expanded on each animal listed. All in all, I would give this book a two out of five stars, because it wasn't as satisfying of a read as it could have been with all the information in the book. But if you're looking for a quick read or to just learn some interesting facts about animals, this book might be for you.
Hello guys! This is a blog about my book called Never Cry Wolf by Farly Mowat. I learned about the lives of arctic wolfs which, at the time have not been studied. He talks about his experiences in the arctic tundra to meeting eskimos to chasing down wolves for miles. It would have you laughing up and down and keeping you in suspense. The eskimo tells him that wolves can talk and shockingly he deciphers stuff that the wolves say about the caribou. He even calls his wolves names like Sandy Lou or George. I really enjoyed this book because it gave me knowledge that I have never heard before. Like I never knew that the wolfs changed there diet with the seasons as the caribou came and went. In the summer they ate bugs and whatever they can find until the caribou can come back. The wolves often followed the caribou during the migrations. I would give this book three out of five stars. It had information but it was less drama and more facts and information .
The wolves are as I found out an extremely temperamental species eating virtually anything it can eat. The book was not very long so there was not as much information as I hoped but it was an enjoyable book and I feel others will like it as much as I do.
