This collection of short stories will interest those who are wild about animals or birds. The author tells about her memories of the many wild creatures she met around her Minnesota home and beyond. One such story that held my attention the most was the two orphaned squirrels that her family raised and cared for. The main topic throughout the book is birds and I learned a few things about them that I didn't know before. The detailed illustrations are also worth mentioning because they fit into the stories so well, making the animals come to life as you read about them.

The book tends to repeat itself just a little, but I found it to be an educational read as a whole. If you're looking for stories to share with nature loving kids, this little book might be a good choice.
