Review

'Fully endorsed by the RSPB and wonderfully illustrated, this book is part of a high-selling series, and offers information about even the most supposedly reowned creatures that will have gardeners gasping with shock.' The Bookseller (9th Nov 2007) A month-by-month guide to some of the wildlife activity you can experience in your garden. Illustrated with Peter Partington's soft wash water colours, it gives a mine of information. Publishing news (Main) February 2008 "A wonderfully written, information-packed guide to the world beyond the kitchen window" BBC Wildlife, April 2008 "Written with considerable charm and abundant wit, it is an extraordinary journey of discovery" Good Book Guide (June 2008) "This is nature writing at its very best: forensic attention to detail combined with the bigger picture, and culminating in an extraordinary revelation" BBC Countryfile August 2008

2.0 out of 5 stars Duff info!!, 12 Jan 2009
By Margaret Reed (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A good book,BUT it badly falls down when showing hedgehogs being given bread and milk!! Anyone who has even the smallest amount of knowledge about these wonderful creatures,knows you do NOT give a hog bread and milk.It causes severe stomach upsets and can kill them if they are already weak.I am amazed that the RSPB have not checked their facts first.Very disappointing and worrying.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect Information., 12 Jan 2009
Although this book looks good and is packed with wonderful wildlife photographs, the section about Hedgehogs gives incorrect information regarding feeding, suggesting that it is ok to feed hedgehogs with bread and milk, when it is clearly understood by everyone with a keen interest in wildlife that it is certainly NOT FINE to feed bread and milk to hedgehogs as their digestion can not cope with these foods, causing serious digestion problems and even death. This is an 'old fashioned' idea that has NOT been promoted for many, many years.

Why has a modern publication, endorsed by the RSPB and with comments by the BBC, got it so wrong?

5.0 out of 5 stars well written and interesting, 9 Mar 2009
I found this book to be packed with interesting details, enjoyable to read, and pleasantly illustrated. The one point raised by previous reviewers about feeding hedgehogs should not detract from the overall quality of the book.

Informative book on all garden wildlife, nicely illustrated.
Laid out in month order, it covers most of the creatures you would expect to see in that part of the year.
