Book meet wall. Bam! I ended up disliking both the hero and the heroine. Both stubborn and stupid. He knows that the one thing she can't forgive is a lie and then proceeds to deceive her for no particular reason. She thinks that she must marry money, which is entirely reasonable given the circumstances in the book and just because she isn't mooning over him enough (though she really is) he decides to test her by saying he has just lost his fortune. Of course she finds out and doesn't forgive him immediately so everyone takes his side, again of course. This is a romance so you know what happens next, she swallows her pride and forgives him etc. Now, I must like romance books since I read so many of them, but in some cases I don't believe in the stock happy ending given. Given her temperament and his fumbling courtship I don't think she really would have forgiven him and I don't necessarily think he deserved it.

Animals in the City gives us a look at how animals have adapted their survival to city life. This is a nice story to read before taking a walk with your 6-9 year old children to see what wild animals they can find in their own community.
