A book I read recently… – Mark Avery
I like this book which we bought recently in the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens for our Edinburgh grandson. He likes books with animals in them, and he likes books with flaps that he can turn over. I like books with those characteristics too.
This one caught my attention by having a realistic Grey Squirrel in it, rather than an unusual Red Squirrel. But I wonder whether that is more to do with the fact that this book is sold in Canada too… But it made a change from the anachronistic Red Squirrels we are usually served up.
Marks off because the Great Tit was feeding young in an open nest whereas even my one-and-a bit year old grandson might tell me that they nest in holes if only he could speak a few more words.
But extra marks for this clever, and fairly realistic, way of showing the passage of a long period of time as the tree ages…
Some real book reviews will be published on this blog on Sunday morning.
