River Monsters

Wade (www.jeremywade.co.uk) got his BSc in zoology and his teaching certificate and then decided that life had a lot more to offer. Now he teaches and entertains a much larger audience on Animal Planet's River Monsters. The fish Wade tracks on TV and in this audiobook all have a history of attacking and killing people. Here, Wade takes the listener along on the hunt while filling us in on the cultures of the people who share the water with these monsters. Wade has a wry sense of humor and is an excellent storyteller. His adventures will certainly be a hit with everyone who ever went swimming in murky water and wondered what was in the water with them. Highly recommended for all libraries, this audiobook takes us well beyond the TV show. [See Audio NewsBriefs, LJ 12/10.—Ed.]—Theresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ. Lib., Russellville
