The Red Squirrel Book is a stunning compendium of fact and photography. The red squirrel is an instantly recognizable fixture of British wildlife and its physiology, character, habitat, and much more are explored in this concise but rich introduction to these fascinating creatures. The book is extensively illustrated throughout with a range of spectacular photographs, each reaffirming why important efforts are being made to conserve this remarkable species.
Now I know more about the Red Squirrel than I knew before after reading this book. We have lovely red squirrels in our backyard . This book focuses on the reds in Wales and the British isles. Beatrix Potter ‘s Squirrel Nutkin is mentioned as well as a vintage book - How I Tame the Wild Squirrels that the author purchased at a tag sale long ago. A delightful read and great photos!!
