"It’s a film about the lift story of an otter. It’s beautiful. If it’s just one otter playing the part, it is the James Dean of otters. There’s a heron and there’s a love interest, White- Tip. It’s multicultural because there’s an owl family. It’s an animal melting pot, by the side of a river."

"It’s a brilliant film about Mozart. If you don’t really know much about classical music, you hear the songs but you don’t think about the people behind them. This film turned that concept on its head, and turned him into this licentious part animal. The actor’s got this amazing high-pitched laugh that’s so funny.”"

ierce Fighters: Predators Nature's Toughest Go Head to Head by Lee Martin, and Paul Beck is a neat documentary on animals that brings their characteristic and put them face to face. The photographers who captured these magnificent creatures in these brief moments did a wonderful job of showcasing that predatory instinct that makes your skin shiver knowing you are about to be on the bottom of Mother Nature’s food chain.

The reader is provided a wealth of information; such as, the battles and animal statics along with where the various creatures live, their habitats. The reader learns about animal weapons, as in their body parts, which help them attack or defend themselves.

This is a great book for children who love animals and facts about animals.

Not sure
Not really sure about this one. In some ways parts of this novel will stay with me, in others it just felt a little lost. Maybe it was the animal behaviour mixed with psychology that was shoehorned in rather then developing the characters more. I'm glad I read it but felt it could give more
