This book was not what I was expecting. Full disclosure-- I had no idea who Sy Montgomery was when I got this book and I was sort of expecting a more generic "these are the life lessons you can learn from these thirteen animals" and you know there would be a chapter on the perseverance of the hedgehog and the self-confidence of the lion. You know, things like that. Happily, this book is much more nuanced and interesting. It's basically a brief look into parts of "author, naturist, and adventurist" Sy Montgomery's exciting life via her interactions with thirteen animals and the life lessons she learned from them. The animals ranged from domesticated pets (4 of her dogs make the list) to tree kangaroos, emus, and a tarantula, among others. Except for the tree kangaroos and maybe the ermine, she usually has extensive interactions with the animals over a period of time and talks about how the relationship formed and what it meant/means to her.This book is pretty short--only 180 pages or so, with decent line spacing and font size and some lovely illustrations. The chapters are pretty short and through them we learn a bit about Montgomery's life, as sometimes the animals make her think of/reflect on her parents (mainly her mother), but mainly she just does a wonderful job of describing her feelings encountering these animals and the wonders they taught her. There are sad parts, like when her dogs died, but the story that affected me the most was with Octavia the octopus. I feel I learned a lot about octopi (octopusses?) and I legitimately got teared up during that chapter.I like to think that I am an animal person, I love animals, but not like Montgomery. They are truly her passion. I feel not only did I learn a lot about different types of animals (even typical ones like pigs and dogs) the book made me realize how much more there is to learn from animals. I have a three year old who is very interested in animals and this book makes me want to continue to cultivate that love and appreciation as he grows. I hope he will look to animals to learn to be a good creature.
MONTGOMERY, Sy (author)-GREEN, Rebecca (illustrator). How to Be a Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Natural science writer Montgomery possesses the rare ability to write equally engaging prose for adults (ten books) and children (sixteen). This book, her twenty-seventy, works equally well for both: it’s simply enough written for children to enjoy it (plus the illustrations and photographs are wonderful) and has enough substance to appeal to interested grownups. Montgomery is probably best known for The Good Good Pig (2007), a memoir about her much loved pet pig, Christopher Hogwood, who appears in this book too. I came across her through her 2015 The Soul of an Octopus: A Surprising Exploration into the Wonder of Consciousness. The octopus Olivia, who is one of the principal characters in Soul, appears also in this book.Montgomery’s particular virtues as a nature writer are three. She is well trained in natural science so she doesn’t make overly anthropomorphic observations about the animals she is observing. Secondly, she doesn’t fall into the B. F. Skinner trap of thinking animals, especially invertebrate ones, incapable of choice or feelings. “Emotions,†she writes, “aren’t confined to humans. A far worse mistake than misreading an animal’s emotions is to assume the animal hasn’t any emotions at all.â€Thus she could relate to an octopus by watching to see what turned the creature on. “Octavia enjoyed me, I think, because we liked to play with each other. Our games weren’t like baseball or dolls. They were more like versions of patty cake, but with suckers.†She studies a group of emus, skittish creatures who usually flee humans but who became so used to her that they allowed her to come within five feet and sleep the night with them. She watches them grooming themselves and observes: “I loved seeing them groom their stringy brown feathers. As their beaks combed roughly through the barbules of their feathers, it recalled for me sunny, sofa-bound afternoons with my grandmother brushing my hair. I imagined how good it felt for them. I found myself sharing their pleasure in this calming, intimate act.†This is a lovely observation but it also helps us try to get under the skin of a creature not at all tamed or even tameable and radically different from us.Lastly, it’s her love for –respect for—admiration for-- animals that wins you over. Encountering a tarantula for the first time: “It was as impressive as meeting a tiger.†Confronting an ermine: “Here before me was one of the world’s smallest carnivores. It is as if all the ferocity of the world’s wild hunters –lions, tigers, wolverines—has been concentrated into a creature who weighs less than half a pound. Quick as lightning, an ermine can leap into the air to kill a bird as it takes flight, or follow a lemming down a tunnel. It can swim, climb trees, and bring down an animal many times its size with a single bite to the neck --and then drag it away. An ermine consumes five to ten meals a day. It needs to eat at least a quarter to a third of its own weight just to survive in captivity, and much more in the wild, especially during the cold winter. These little hearts beat nearly four hundred times a minute. No wonder they kill everything they can at every opportunity. They are glorious in their single-minded ferocity.â€The other creatures she discusses in this lovely book include the Scotty she grew up with as a child, her own border collies, a clutch of hens, and a pair of young tree kangaroos in Papua, New Guinea, whom her team captured, anesthetized, fitted with radio tracking collars and then released back into the wild. But before they released the pair, they named them. And the names they gave them, not Sy’s choice but the team’s, were Christopher and Tess, which happened to be the names of Sy’s recently deceased pet pig and dog.
Yes, it's a fast read. But it's a wonderful book to read aloud to an older child. And of course Sy's prose is also beautiful. I bought 6 of them to give at Christmas. I'm still blown away by the high quality. ALSO...I can SEE THE PRINT...whew. I'm 60 and have cataracts. I'm really tired of ordering books I cant read because I can't see the tiny print. :(
