The Red Squirrel Book

BY JANE RUSS, GRAFFEG, £9.99

Part of a growing series by the same author, following on from The Owl Book, The Fox Book, and The Hare Book, this richly illustrated and affectionate little volume provides an excellent introduction to one of Britain’s best-loved mammals. Jane Russ presents both ecological and cultural perspectives on the species, and up-to-date information on its rapidly changing conservation status, including a look at reintroduction efforts. It’s an easy read – ideal for non-specialists or the young. Amy-Jane Beer Wildlife writer
