This is a great action book. My boy has loved this since 15 months. It requires the reader to do all of the verbs, which can get tiring....but he lives it so. When I am tired, I hide it because he wants me to read it over and over. This is my second purchase after the first one was gifted. (Poochie likes the book too!)

A Different Kind of Wild is a tremendous resource for you daily walk with God.  I was so impressed with Debbie Alsdorf's plan for reviving our walk of faith, that I am leading a book study at my church using this book as a springboard for discussion.  GREAT GREAT  GREAT book and so well written and applicable to problems we face as women everyday!  Excellent book.  I enthusiastically recommend reading the book to revitalize your spiritual life.

I absolutely LOVE this book!  Dr. Cohen's book is filled with so much VALUABLE information; you can actually help protect and keep your pet safe and healthy by reading this book.  Even if you don't own a pet, you will be entertained by the amusing stories, and you'll impress your pet-owner friends with the information you will be able to share.

Some stories give you an inside look at what goes on in an animal hospital (VERY interesting!), and other stories tell about some amazing experiences in the life of a veterinarian.  A very funny story about an Iguana had me laughing out loud, while reading about the hectic rush to save a dog who ingested poisonous antifreeze had me on the edge of my seat!

The entire book is an enjoyable, easy read - I almost felt as though Dr. Cohen was sitting across from me, engaging in a good conversation.

Highly Recommended!

This book is one of the best written in regards to both educating yourself about acquiring a pet for your children and also a bonus to us parents of children on the Autism Spectrum - the author speaks from her own experiences (of which I relate to so much I feel as if I know her) and opens her heart and mind about inspiring and visionary life.  We are a family considering a Golden Retriever to become our three year old's son's "best friend" and a part of our family and this book has been a wealth of information on the subject.  I highly recommend this book to any family considering a pet and especially to a family who has a child with developmental or learning problems.  I can't wait to read this author's next book!  Enjoy!

On December 31, 2000 a good friend of mine gave me this book. Not even half way through it I was outside looking for tracks and watching nature and its course. If you're the least little bit into nature and adventure you will enjoy this incredible book. Since I read it, every weekend I'm outdoors hiking and tracking. It  makes the reader very aware of what nature does on a regular basis.

One of the most amazing books I've read!  The book made me feel like I was there and could see what was happening.  Because of my love for wildlife I could feel the presence of them as I read.  Knowing Kathy and the research she has done to be able to write these books makes reading it extra special.  God Bless You Kathy!  Keep writing!

Craig Childs has taken his experiences in the wild and brought them to you, but the best part is you can do what he does on your own. He does not try and convince you that a seasoned pro such as himself is the only person to view and be viewed by the wonders of nature. Come get lost in this book and then go get lost in nature. Nothing would make the author more happy. Child's writing style has a flow and credibility to it that few other authors have. Join Craig while he serenades a coyote, scares (although by accident) a mountain lion and does his very best to help (yes help) a bull shark. Happy Reading!

This book is great and informative. This is perfect for parents to read it together with their children. I already bought the author's other book "Dangerous Animals" and I in my opinion this series is more than worth it's money. The author describes in detail about the habits of the animals. At the same time it is written in an entertaining way that makes it very digestive for small kids. It is a very recommendable read!

As a reader of many, many books on animal communication it's good to highly recommend this one! Easy to read, well organized and suitable for both the beginner and experienced. She lays out very simple steps to making the telepathic connection to animals and gives exercises to help clear the path. Included are chapters on handling behavioral issues, body scans, animals in spirit, lost animals and wild animals. Tone of the book is very conversational which makes for an enjoyable read!

This book is full of Green animals, and not just reptiles! This was a great book to read to my daughter because we are working on color recognition and she loves learning about animals. The pictures of the little green frog was her favorite. We learned a lot of new facts about different animals. The facts were kept short and sweet which was perfect to keep my daughter invested in the book. The pictures joined with each fact was very nice, the pictures were great!
I also read this book to my son, he loves the snakes and the bird. He know wants a snake, that won't happen but it is nice to see him interested in this book and its contents. He asked questions and we went out and got another book all about snakes for him. So this book by Baby Professor made my son want to learn more with other books. When the weather gets better I promised him we would go to more zoos, aquariums and the Ecotarium so he could look for more green animals! This was such a good idea for a book, using the same color for animals joined with pictures and facts. I am very pleased and would suggest this too my parent friends for their kids.
We are a family that loves to read, this book, and many others by Baby Professor help us continue that tradition of reading individually and together.

this book was not just helpful in identifying animal tracks but was so full of information about each animal. My grandson loved reading about them and learned so much. The way the information was presented was amazing for children of many ages to understand. He is 7 and really enjoyed it. We use it every time we go hiking. I highly recommend this book. I also highly recommend the seller. The product was delivered promptly and was in perfect condition. I will purchase from this seller again. Thank you.

This book is fantastic! It has beautiful illustrations that any reader can appreciate!  Not only that but it is written in such a way that learning about the wild in our city is enjoyable, informative and thought provoking. It is a non fiction text that even my young children enjoy!  This is a must have for anyone who wants to excited and educated about where they live!

I absolutely love this book. I enjoyed learning about Sea World, both the good and bad. I have adored orca's every since I could remember and this book was eye opening to what goes on behind the scenes at Sea World. We get the point of view from an ex-Sea World trainer who shares his stories. I highly recommend reading this book!

I have this book on my Kindle, and I read it in a little less than a week. Gripping, beautiful, verdant writing that allows me to see, hear, and even feel the poverty and determination of the peoples whom live in this untamed wilderness, eking out an existence next to an amazing top predator.

As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I revel in animal vs. human stories...and this one was so engrossing. It has shifted the way I think of how wild animals behave... and makes me question what I thought I understood about animal behavior. The greatest message I took away after finishing this book was that once disturbed by man, be the interaction positive or negative, a wild animal is no longer the same essential being it was prior to the encounter.

And maybe, just maybe... more highly specialized, evolved animals have developed a more intense reasoning than is currently attributed to them.

My favorite passage from this book:
"a pair of blazing yellow lanterns over a temple door framed with ivory columns."

Vivid.

I recently came across a baby raccoon on the side of the road about to waddle out into busy oncoming traffic.  I immediately stopped the car to help him.  Despite being shouted out by angry drivers who told me I was a crazy person, I was able to scoop him into the woods and out of harms way with a large piece of cardboard I found in my car (I didn't physically touch him because I knew that raccoons can carry rabies).  I cried all the way home thinking I should have done more for him.  This event prompted me to download this book to find out more about wild animal protocol. I learned exactly what method to follow to determine how/if the animal is orphaned or injured, how to capture it if need be, and how to safely transport it to a proper wildlife rehabilitator.  Often times, the animal is just fine & better off being left alone--like in the case of my baby raccoon.  Every person who loves creatures great & small should read this book simply as a prerequisite for loving them. This book will give precise & professional knowledge needed to exist in harmony with our wild birds & mammals and how & when to lend a helping hand.
