Welcome to Litsy!

A very late edition to my top 10 of 2023 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Not only is book full of amazing stories of amazing creatures it‘s illustrated with a lightness that is just gorgeous. Did I mention this is a great book! 😃

Such a beautiful book. Micro chapters celebrating the joy and wonder of some of the earths most sophisticated, complex and jaw dropping amazing creatures that are on the verge of distinction. I think this is a book I‘m going to buy over & over and give to everyone!

A collection of short stories about animals from around the world. I‘m not normally a fan of non-fiction but this has opened my eyes to what amazing and mysterious animals we are lucky enough to share the planet with.

Forgot to post over the weekend. Santa has been very good to me this year! 😍🎅😍

This is on the shortlist for Waterstones book of the year, and was available on BorrowBox so I thought I‘d try it. Short essays, each accompanied by a beautiful sketch, tell of weird and wonderful creatures that are in danger due to the impact of humans. Some animals are familiar, some not but I learned a lot from this delightful book.

I have to say, though, I loved the stinky lemurs the most. This would make a lovely gift (for kids or adults)

All of us have clicked and 💕photos & videos of funny or cute animals on social media. Have we given a thought to how rare, so miraculously wonderful, and how we are so dangerously close to losing them? Brilliantly written profiles of selected animals, birds, fish, insects which, for me at any rate, were eye opening; making me curious and angry at the damage we have wrought. The author makes a case for what can possibly help: to be attentive
