GTood, especially describing the animal, size, shape, color and so on. Yes
as we know there are different sizes of dogs that are the same breed such as
black labs, and so on and imagine there are different sizes of wolves like
in the timber.

Ah, Thanks Robert. I went and picked up ten short they are kids books, but,
I think very well written and give us details that a lot of the adult books
think aren't important, like size, color and the like.
Let me thing.
Cottontails Rattlers Owls Swans Cardinals Hammer Heads Fur Seals Alligators Howler Monkeys Grizzly Bears
hmmm, can't remember off hand the last one.
Anyway will be putting these up soon, as they don't take a lot to edit.
They are part of the World Book Animals of the World series,
Which we presently have four of.
Killer Whales and Other Toothed Whales Kangaroos and other Marsupials Giraffes and Other Hoofed Mammals Wolves and Other Wild Dogs
There are still at least six more in the series, that I left, and my librarian says if we don't have the whole series she is going to get the missing ones.
I like them, because they concentrate on one animal, say for example the Giraffe, but then branch off, into other animals, and are always saying "like other hoofed animals" or so on and so forth.
I like the format, and I learned a few things while editing them.
But never fear, I have adult books in the works. Scanned one yesterday
called
To Touch a Wild Dolphin which seems to be quite full of good information on
dolphin, from a researcher who spent fifteen years with the Dolphins of
Australia's Shark Bay.

My vote is for what ever you feel like although wolves sounds great.

At 11:16 PM 2/24/2005, you wrote:Hey you all,
Just asking, as I plan another round of "scanning" What kinds of animal books would be good on the site.
My library has a well limited, but focused supply. We have predominantly
books on game animals Deer, bear, wolves, rabbits, and other small
critters,
and the other predators, wolves, lions, carnivores, and the primates. We
also have a few on Dolphins, sharks, and other fish. Seals, bats, polar
bears, squids, clams, and a few others. We have a fairly small section on
Insects.
We have a huge bird section. Would any bird books be of any use on the
site. There is one, it may be a pain to scan, but my brother says the
information is great called "Lives of North American Birds" There is also
one called "Hand feeding wild birds. And there are ones on particular
birds, Chickadees, and bluebirds come to mind.
I also have a few, "booklets" from a bird song course, or courses I have laying around here, they are copyrighted, and not scripts, so would think they are useful. But let me know.
Also we have a enormous section on domestic animals, pets, and livestock.
Would be of anyone's interest to have books on Unusual pets like lizards,
snakes, and the like. On hamsters, gerbils, guinea Pigs, ferrets, and the
like, books on raising rabbits, sheep, cows, horses, goats, pigs, ducks
and
other birds.
I am going to be submitting eventually a collection on reptiles, I have
Rattlers Snakes with hyperlinks Lizards of the World Turtles, Tortoises, and Teripans Survivors in Armor
So it covers pretty good that section of animal ness.
Let me know what you are thinking.
Smile. I love reading this stuff, and will have eventually seven books by
Joy Adamson, the "born free" series up too.
Born Free Living Free Forever Free Pippa's Challenge The Spotted Sphinx Elsa the True Story of a Lioness Elsa's Cubs
But let me know what you are interested in. Oh, we have a section on domestic birds, and on aquariums. and Attracting wild life, and creating wildlife friendly landscaping too.
Let me know O.K. smile, am open to suggestions.
Is there an animal you wanted to read about but haven't because you didn't
have the book?
Guys I am free till September and then will have to go dormant for a
while,
or so I am telling myself, we shall see, smile. So let me know o.k. I
like
reading the science, and animal books, and enjoy doing art and
biographies.
I have a lot to be "edited" but am always looking for other things to scan
and add to the pile.
Am working on a few on the Great Lakes, my home turf as it were, and should have them up soon, and one on Ghosts and Haunting of Pennsylvania. Am working on "lighthouse Tales" right now.
