Sometimes that\u2019s a happy thing \u2014 a dog who greets you at the end of the day with tail wagging \u2014 and sometimes it\u2019s not a good thing (see bunnies, above). No matter how or why you encounter animals, these books will give you a greater understanding about the creatures we share a world with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An Immense World<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>By Ed Yong<\/em><br \/>\nWe can never really know what it\u2019s like to be an animal, but reading Ed Yong\u2019s new book helps us get pretty close. He writes about everything from bees that see flowers in a completely different way to the reasons behind the fly\u2019s erratic flight patterns. Yong also explains the fascinating ways that animals perceive the world through its magnetic field or ultrasonic sounds. Yong\u2019s great gift in is turning hard scientific facts into stories, making this a wonderful book to sink into.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2713 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montgomerymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/All-Creatures.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"318\" height=\"462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montgomerymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/All-Creatures.jpg 318w, https:\/\/www.montgomerymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/All-Creatures-206x300.jpg 206w, https:\/\/www.montgomerymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/All-Creatures-289x420.jpg 289w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>All Creatures Great and Small<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>By James Herriot<\/em><br \/>\nA classic, for a good reason.
