|title= Tamed and Untamed: Close Encounters of the Animal Kind
|rating= 3.5
|genre= Animals and Wildlife
|summary=Sy Montgomery and Elizabeth Marshall-Thomas are best friends who also happen to be ''New York Times'' best-selling authors. They first bonded over their shared love of animals: shortly after meeting, Sy's pet ferret had given Liz a nasty bite, but Liz didn't seem to mind at all. ''She REALLY didn't mind being bitten by a weasel. I knew we were soul mates,'' recalls Sy. ''Tamed and Untamed'' is the resulting collaboration between the two friends as they share personal anecdotes and amazing stories about the animal world.

|summary=Take a well-put-together board book (don't worry about it being a board book - no one is going to say that they’re a bit too old for a board book once they see it), add exquisite pictures of a dozen birds - one on each double-page spread - and then fill in the details. You'll need the name of the bird in English and Latin and a description of the bird in words which a child can understand but which won't patronise an adult. Then you'll need details of where the bird is found, what it eats, where it nests, how many eggs it lays, how the male and female adults differ and their size. Then you need a 'Did you know?' fact and this needs to be something which will interest children, but which adults might not know either. Does it sound simple? Well it isn't, but 'The Little Book of Woodland Bird Songs' does it perfectly. And there's a bonus, but I'll tell you about that in a moment.
