Reviews

"In addition to sharing his enlightening and instructive anecdotes, the author makes a gentle, yet persuasive argument for the importance of preserving the state's wildlife and for responsible human-animal interactions. . . .May inspire you to head outdoors, explore and get to know the feathered, furry, scaled, and shelled friends around us."--Venice Gulf Coast Living
