I highly recommend this children's book. The book tells a wonderful story and the photos in the book are amazing. Children need to learn more about nature and the wonderful living things that we need to protect. This book should be a must read for all children ages 10 and under. I will give this book to my granddaughter who is 9. It will be perfect for her and to think that it was written by a wonderful 10 year old boy who is a photographer and writer is amazing.

My Granddaughter had to have a copy of this book. When it arrived, she sat down and read it cover to cover. I couldn't even look at it until she was finished. It is a great book for younger readers, written by a young writer. The book is well illustrated with images selected from photographs taken by the author. The story line is very imaginative and appropriate for the target age market. My granddaughter loved the book and has been seen reading it several times. The book shows great talent and imagination from such a young person, the author is only 10 years old. I would recommend this book to any parent. It is a great example for younger people to learn from when building relationships and understanding how the animals spend their days. Grat Job Carson! Keep up the good work.

My son Carson recieved this email comment about his book The Aventures of Buddy the Beaver from world renowned National Geographic Photographer Joel Sartore: "My six-year-old son, Spencer, and I read Buddy the Beaver last night at bedtime. At first he didn't want to look at 'another photography book' but as soon as we cracked the cover he was all over it. He loved it and wants to read it again tonight."
