Tall Pines Animal Tales Elizabeth Paragamian

If you enjoy watching wildlife and/or have pets there is no doubt you will enjoy this book. Throughout our private and professional lives we have had many experiences with fish and wildlife. These experiences run the gamut from humorous to sad, but in all cases we learned something new. The stories range from the humorous to downright scary: finding out the hard way that even baby skunks can spray to incidents of brown bear attacks. This book has several objectives: to provide stories of pure wildlife entertainment, to develop an appreciation of wildlife education and to show that the natural scene isn't the stereotypic peace and harmony. Wildlife struggle every day to survive and as mankind spreads into the habitats of wildlife there is going to be conflict. Most of the time, wildlife is the loser. At the same time we can learn to appreciate God's creatures and do our part to ensure they also have a place to thrive. To add diversity to this book we added a few stories from friends and some stories involving domestic animals and in particular our pets. We know some stories may make you sad but we hope most stories, at the very least, make you smile.
