Review "One of the most outstanding photos in the book features a herd of cape buffalo stampeding through Kenya's Amboseli National Park. As they kick up dust in their frenzied wake, it almost looks as though they're swimming through a river of clouds." — Mother Nature Network "Amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s sometimes easy to forget the beauty of the world around us.

Reviews
This book has quite a few ups and downs. The ups are all in the photography. Gorgeous pictures of amazing animals. Huge groups of penguins, wildebeests, butterflies, and a myriad of other creatures. It really is awe inspiring to see huge numbers of these animals in their natural habitats.The downs come from the words. Following the pictures of the animals there is usually a few paragraphs dedicated to them. More often than not the writing details the peril these animals are in. Many are endangered from things like loss of habitat, poaching, and pollution. The message of the book is one of preservation and conversation. It will be a sad day indeed if these animals only exist as photos in a book.
