Wild Moments: Reveling in
Nature’s Signs, Songs, Cycles, and Curious Creatures is a book that describes the beauty of nature
year round. Furthermore, this book challenges the reader to seek out and enjoy nature during every season of the year. For each season, the author describes dozens of animals and plants that he has encountered during that season. Each short description includes interesting behavioural information as well as tips on how to attract, identify, or locate these interesting wild animal and plant
species. These descriptions examine both the
common and not so the common varieties. Wild Moments: Reveling in Nature’s Signs, Songs, Cycles, and Curious Creatures is an extremely informative book. However, as this work is divided into dozens of short individual description type essays this book reads more like a poetry book. Thus, the reader feels at ease while learning about nature and not overwhelmed by clinical scientific descriptions. Furthermore, as this book covers so many different nature topics, most any reader will easily find his or her favourite topics. Moreover, this book focuses on both animal and plant species that are common worldwide and those that are only found in very specific areas of North America. This unique aspect of the book challenges the reader to look for the species common to his or her area as well as to learn about rarer animals or plants that may be completely new to him or her.
