for the kids, the future custodians of our environment, the best book I’ve come across is The Great Big Book of Irish Wildlife (Through the Seasons) (hardback) by the experienced naturalist and writer, Juanita Browne. It is has great illustrations, and Juanita’s way of making wildlife really interesting makes this book a must-buy by parents and grandparents
