Non fiction book review - The Woolly Monkey Mysteries
The Woolly Monkey Mysteries by Sandra Markle
This book starts out on solid footing. Is there anything more appealing to a young audience than cute animals? But this is more than just an introduction to an animal. In fact, the life of the Woolly Monkey is only a secondary focus of this book. The primary focus is on ecology in general and how scientists have learned about the role of the Woolly Monkey in the rain forest. Markle takes us through the methods biologists use to study these animals and how keystone species affect an ecosystem. Pretty brilliant for a fairly short book.

Sympathy card
It has become my habit to make my own greeting cards, usually featuring some kind of quirky image and joke. The exception, of course, is sympathy cards. In that case, I prefer a simple image of nature and a saying or Bible verse.
