The Animal Dialogues tells of Craig Childs' own chilling experiences among the grizzlies of the Arctic, sharks off the coast of British Columbia and in the turquoise waters of Central America, jaguars in the bush of northern Mexico, mountain lions, elk, Bighorn Sheep, and others. More than chilling, however, these stories are lyrical, enchanting, and reach beyond what one commonly assumes an "animal story" is or should be. The Animal Dialogues is a book about another world that exists alongside our own, an entire realm of languages and interactions that humans rarely get the chance to witness.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Enter the world of animals. Respect for their beingness and nowness is paramount. It's an important state of being that the author has mastered. A place we should all be more familiar with.

This is my third Craig Childs’ book and I loved it! He’s a gifted writer and narrator. I have read some reviews that describe his style as monotonous, but I couldn’t disagree more. His soothing, poetic prose is both vividly descriptive and constantly, patiently driven. His style reminds me of what it is like to hike through the desert. I have yet to be disappointed by one of his books! Highly recommend.

Another excellent listening experience!

I’ve never felt more a part of a story! Craig Childs engages from the first moment...through the entire 10+ hours. His love of animals and remote landscapes is enthralling. Informative as well as exciting! Love the way he thinks & lives his life!!

Learned so much and loved the author’s poetic descriptions of the animals and their surroundings. Found the narrator a little monotone at times, but not distracting. Highly recommend for lovers of nature .

Mr. Childs is a deep thinking and feeling Homo sapien who delivers a compelling view into the natural world and its inhabitants.

There is an unspoken dialog between the wild creatures and us…if we could only, stop, dial down, and listen. Thank you, Craig, for my vicarious journey with you!

Again, inspirational!
