Books for Animal Lovers

This post isn't about an animal, its about lots of different animals. And if you like reading about animals then this is for you - I highly recommend all four books.

The Travelling Vet by Jonathan Cranston is a collection of tales from a young vet who works in a vet practice in Oxfordshire, England but also travels the world treating everything from guinea pigs to giraffes. Its funny and its moving but there's always something different.

Our Zoo by June Mottershead follows the extraordinary journey of a young girl who, with her father George, set up the Chester Zoo in England in the 1930s. An inspiring story of determination.

The Last Rhinos by Lawrence Anthony, described as the Indiana Jones of conservation. Apart from his incredible, and often dangerous, attempts to try to save the northern white rhino, Anthony runs his own game reserve in South Africa and has saved hundreds of animals.

And for those who would rather just look at the pictures, then you just have to see The Photo Ark by Joel Sartore, whose goal is to photograph every animal on earth, before it becomes extinct. Wonderful book, full of beautiful photographs of animals you know and some you've never even heard of!
