Tarantula in My Purse : And 172 Other Wild Pets
Jean Craighead George tells how she was raised, loving animals and being taught to rescue them. Her childhood home was filled with rescued animals, and then she tells the stories of all the various and sundry animals she and her children brought home to rescue. The variety is quite impressive, sometimes tender and sometimes amazing. The stories are pretty humorous too. Just imagine that home! Regardless it seemed filled mostly with love, which is rarely a bad thing.
There are only four stars because it hurt me to see her children be allowed to bond with the animals they brought home, only to have them torn from them later on, sometimes even years later. However, it seems all turned out to have good and productive lives; perhaps that is the problem when we look at animals as pets, or anthropomorphize them. Love found and lost is certainly something we will encounter in life as we grow.
I would always recommend her books though, and this is no exception.
