Nice small used hardback in great shape.
I bought this book some time ago as an impulse purchase. After showing it to friends the author wound up with another half dozen sales. This book simply resonates for anyone willing to find messages in the natural occurences around us.While the pictures themselves could stand on their own, Greive's arrangement and text additions provide the perfect flow. In a few cases they add a touch of fun humor that would have otherwise been absent: one, for example, showing an arangutang with a distraught blank look with a caption about what it feels to go all the way to the mall just to forget what you went there for is priceless.Points should also be given to Grieve for finding the pictures in the first place. With libraries worth of pictures to choose from, Grieve managed to find ones that show exactly the expressions from animals that we can recognize in ourselves: joy, sadness, confusions, excitement, activity, relaxation, meditation and satisfaction are all represented.If you're the kind of person who looks at the stars and says, "Feh. I've seen them before," then this book isn't for you. But if you can appreciate a picture of a parent and child cheetah, with the parent looking board, and the child looking at the white dots flying arond his head, with a caption asking why children believe in fairies but "grown-ups" don't, then I cannot recommend this book enough.
