Fostering Respectful Relationships with Wild Critters
For those of you with kiddos, here’s a book to help foster respectful relationships with the critters who live in our wild places, by Nancy Hicks Marshall By Ellie S, November, 2021.
Animal’s Point of View, plus Resources
This is my friend Nancy Hicks Marshall ‘s latest book and I think it’s my favorite of her works so far. Through (sometimes embellished) true-life encounters between wildlife and a family of humans who regularly get away to a cabin in the woods, kids can learn about various Arizona wildlife and how to safely interact […]
Surprising Encounters!
I liked how the animals in A RATTLER’S TALE encountered humans – they sometimes do that in a surprising way – and how the author uses the encounter to give a lot of information about each wild critter by telling the story through their eyes. (Doris Lawson, 11/26,21)
Enjoyable for all ages: Illustrations Tied it Together
This book was so nice to read at any age and my whole family enjoyed it. The stories were so well laid out and the illustrations tied it all together! I highly recommend this book for everyone and anyone. Fernando Rios, November, 2021

All Creatures Great and Small
Nancy Marshall has written a wonderful book of short stories featuring “ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL” in and around her family cabin in the Arizona Bradshaw Mountains.

For adults TOO!
A wonderful read for all ages! Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021 What a delight “A Rattle’s Tale” was! At first I thought it was just aimed for children, but going through the stories and vivid interactions between humans and animals inevitably invited me to reflect on the vital importance of not […]
