• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Sara Robinson -- Errors and Typos and Confusion, Oh My! : I remember this book from my childhood. The actual book is great. This digital version has so many errors and typos that it’s not worth trying to puzzle the language out. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from R -- like a poorly translated instruction manual : This book came highly recommended, so I was confused when I read many, many sentences like this in the Kindle version (the Kindle cover with wolves howling on the moon): ( Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2021 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from S. D. Martin -- Realistic portraits of wild animals by the noted naturalist Seton : SPOILER ALERT: I first read this Whitman Classic book in 1959 when I was seven years old; and I remember crying my eyes out at the tragic ends of ALL of these animals (the story of Raggylug the rabbit is the only one in which the creature doesn't die, although his mother does) and hating the author for his part in many of their deaths (he himself died in 1946). He does state in the introduction that "the life of a wild animal ALWAYS has a tragic end", which is true, but it didn't make it any easier to take at the time. I wanted to read this book again as an adult; and found the author's observations of these animals as a naturalist in the late 1800s much more interesting the second time around. And having many years of life experience in the meantime tempered my reaction to the stories as being part of life's circle. The very sad fact is that the difference between how animals were "managed" 100 years ago and how the same animals are "managed" today hasn't changed all that much, particularly with the wolf, the fox, and the wild horse, which are still considered by the hunting and ranching industries as vermin to be exterminated...

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Like reading the stories my grandfather told. : There is the ring of truth to each of these short stories. I found myself transported back sixty+ years, snug in Pop's lap listening to his tales of the years he spent as a cowboy on the plains and in the canyons of the Texas panhandle at a time when 'lobo' (prairie wolves) and cougars still roamed the area. A thoroughly enjoyable collection of stories by an author who most definitely knew of what he wrote. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in experiencing how it was.

• 2.0 out of 5 stars from winslow -- Meh : It was very average. The stories were really about animals. I thought it would be a solid story throughout but it was a collection of short stories. Some were very impactful but I just don't think that it was my type of book. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Merry Christmas -- Great literature : I really loved this book, I felt like I knew these animals personally. ( Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2020 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Lamppu -- A new look at animals : This author has looked into animals' heads and tells us what there is in there - what makes them tick. I shall never look at an animal in the same way again. The stories are quite fantastic and if they aren't true, they very well could be. Who are we to say? Roald Dahl may have read the story about foxes. His own fox story is so similar. Maybe he didn't read it - maybe fox life just is like that - eat or get eaten. ( Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2013 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amanda Peck -- I like Silverspot the best. : Seton is pretty well known for his observations of crows. How many words they use, for instance, some are in the story. He watched this particular group of crows for many years, a task made easier because of Silverspot's silver spot. Silverspot's group could tell the difference between someone with a folded umbrella and with a gun, behaved quite differently for the difference. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2007 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Jane Thorpe -- Quality : Good piece. Packaging could be improved to ensure book doesn't move ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2018 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Nataliya -- no illustrations at all : no illustrations at all, 9 stories, 130 pages, not a big size, boring presentation, page's colour is not white ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 12, 2019 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Steven Green -- Not to be missed : Not to read and I liked the description of the different animals and other struggle with man and nature for servival. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 20, 2017 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Daphne E Russell -- I watched a film about Lobo wolf & decided I ... : I watched a film about Lobo wolf & decided I would read more from this author. Looking forward to reading it. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2016 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from avid reader -- Five Stars : Excellent book a great read ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2017 )
