"How to Be a Good Creature" is as much a memoir about the creatures that made the most significant impact in her life as it is about Sy Montgomery.
Much of the book centers around the lives and deaths of Montgomery's pig, Chris, and her dog, Tess. However, you can really feel the connection she had with each creature she encounters as she describes their behaviors and eccentricities.
A wonderful exploration of love and loss with a variety of creatures, packaged in a quick read.
