Crocs Rule and So Does This Book!

If you're an avid viewer of "The Crocodile Hunter", as I am, than this book is a must have. True, much of the information in can be picked up from the show. However, I actually enjoyed reading about Steve and Terri's adventures a bit more than watching them. You learn more about their families and what motivates them. After reading the book, I've developed a desire to learn more about wildlife conservation and what part I can play in it. I would highly recommend this book for any animal lover or Crocodile Hunter fan.

The Croc Hunter Book

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Teri Irwin at their Zoo last year at her book signing.I was in Austrailia for the month in December with my family we even stood at the Glass House Mountian Beerwah Motel which is were she staid when she first met him, it's mentioned in the book,she is just as amazing as her Best Mate!The book really gives you a sense of how they care about conservation and wild life and each other you can feel thier passion. I highly recommend this book to any fan of the Croc Hunter and if you ever get a chance go vist the Zoo T.V. doesn't do it justice.Austrailia is an amazing Country I liked it so much I bought some property and can't wait to go back.

A fascinating blend of autobiography and natural history

Any who've seen the television show about Steve Irwin and his Australian animal management will find Crocodile Hunter a fascinating blend of autobiography and natural history. Here Steve and his wife recount some of their most dangerous adventures, share experiences of their lives, and pepper their lively text with color photos of crocodiles and other wild animals. A real treat both for prior fans and for newcomers to the show.

A rip-roaring adventure story

I am already a big fan of "The Crocodile Hunter" TV show, so I was thrilled to learn that Steve and Terri Irwin had written a book about their true-life adventures. Actually, I am a "huge" fan of the show. I wondered, however, if the book would contain anything that I didn't already know from watching the "Crocodile Hunter" series. Sure enough, I learned even more about this incredible couple who spend just about every waking hour advancing wildlife conservation. Steve's childhood was a joy to read about, as well as the many crocodile adventures he actually lived through to see the light of another day. Terri's description of how they met and married was a delight. In true "Crocodile Hunter" style, Steve's stories jump off the pages to grab you. For an instant, I was right along side Steve wrestling the biggest crocodiles you ever saw! Steve and Terri's love of wildlife is contagious and their continuous promotion of wildlife causes around the world is truly a genuine endeavor. Reading this book brought to mind the time I personally met Terri Irwin. She was as feminine and genuine as they come, but when I shook her hand, it was obvious that she really does physically work at the Australia Zoo. I was impressed! Steve and Terri live their lives the way they say they do, and the reader of this book will get a look into their private world as well. This adventure book is a true delight!

Crocodile Hunter

An outstanding read! Just as informative and entertaining as their show. We're saving the book to have it autographed when we finally get to visit Australia. Anyone who enjoys their exploits on television will definitely enjoy a "back-stage" browse through their lives and times. I admire and respect the choices and hard work they've chosen to try and convince humans to care for their environment. Good luck and hope to see more shows on TV in the future.
