"Curious Creatures-Wondrous Waifs, My Life with Animals" is the kind of book you don't see much of anymore on the pet shelves. It's not a 'how to' book. It's plain old-fashioned story telling.

Curious Creatures-Wondrous Waifs, My Life with Animals is a compelling and informative look back on a life filled with close observation of both pets and nature's wild and wonderful creatures, ranging from eagles, moose, and raccoons to pot-bellied pigs and parakeets. Respect, wry humor, and thoughtful reflections upon the animal point of view combine to make for a thoroughly fascinating assortment of anecdotes from a true animal lover.

(PRWEB) January 27, 2004 --Join the author, Ed Kostro, on his 50-year journey through the animal kingdom. You'll meet lots of dogs and cats, but you will also learn a little about what pot-bellied pigs wonder about, and hear the songs of canaries.

With humor, tears, sadness, joy, and a deep sense of wonder and respect, the stories in this book reveal the depths of interaction between the author, an animal shelter volunteer and animal rescuer, and a multitude of earth's varied creatures - both great and small.

Curious Creatures-Wondrous Waifs invites the reader to see animals as Kostro sees them - as unique and wondrous beings.

Animals have truly brought fullness to his life, and some of them have also brought deep anguish and pain. But every person or animal depicted in this book has taught the author something. Some of these lessons have been humorous, some painful, and some extremely sad. Yet, his encounters with all sorts of animals have been an integral part of making him who he is today -- an avowed 'animal person.

This is the kind of book you don't see much of anymore on the pet shelves. It's not a 'how to' book. It's just plain old-fashioned story telling.
