As a child and young adult, I had a fascination and love of animals. At some point in the early 1970's I purchased and read a book, "Animals Nobody Loves". I kept it in my library for a number of years, but at some point lost it or gave it away, I don't recall which.

Upon rereading this book, I discovered that it was still a fascinating look into the lives of the less-than-cute denizens of this world. The author delves deeply into each animal subject he has chosen for this work, but always in a manner that is easily read and enjoyed. He also illustrates each chapter with his own personal experiences, which adds to the appeal of the stories.

Some of the commentary is a little dated (discussing bounty laws no longer on the books), but overall this was an informative and entertaining read. Recommended. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
To Mrs. Ruby S. North-the patient schoolmarm who suffered through so many of my turtles and frogs-this book is affectionately dedicated.

And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25
First words
Her yellow eyes gazed at me, unblinking. Her wing drooped uselessly, and she kept settling down on her left leg as if it were too was to bear the weight of her body.
