In short, birds! 🐧🦅🦃🐦🕊️

I started this on the bus to the Natural History Museum and subsequently found myself listening to the author talking about his childhood going to see their dodo as I looked at the very model myself.

It's an easy and enjoyable read. Some of the species are glossed over very quickly. I would have liked to hear more about something's but you can see why the times spent on certain species rather than others.

I loved the hearing why the different species were important historically and I definitely leant bits along the way. However, the majority was things I'd already heard as someone who's obsessed with animals. This said, it's a great read regardless and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me for enjoyability. It's definitely the perfect book for an adult (or a older child) who wants to begin learning about these species significance.
