Quest for the Tree Kangaroo--Its not just for kids!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I received this book from a thoughtful, loving, and dear kindred spirit of a friend and while it is being marketed as a children's book, I found that it was just as wonderful as an animal lover's or even a conservationists' (organic-free trade-decaffeinated) coffee table book. Nic Bishop's up close and personal photography is beyond any Life Magazine or National Geo quality color photos. Sy Montgomery's writing takes the reader along on the expedition with all the science, language and even a bit of humor provided in part by the guides. Montgomery has created a fun book for kids and adults alike! A great gift for high school graduates to inspire them to follow their dreams and passions. For kid's, this would make a cake science report book!
beautiful book, fascinating creature!

the photos are great, i just wish there were more. i am not very interested in the human beings that performed the research, and wish there was more about the animals...
