The Family and other Animals,

This book written by Gerald Durrell is about his childhood in Greece. He was very interested in nature and he spent the days looking for bugs and observing trees.
His family is a little weird and he writes this book from a hilarious point of view.
This story is set in summer, the writer took lessons during summer, so he explains his relationship with his teacher, who found him extremely curious kid. It’s also about how he met the people of the village.
It’s written in a way that shows you exactly how the trees he sees or the streets he goes through look.
I think it is a very enterteining book, and it seemed familiar to me. It is very easy to read and I recommend it to anyone who has time to read a quiet book and I think grown people would like it best.
