❦ Wild Kingdom Book Challenge! ❦

Hello, fellow book and animal lovers. I'm setting myself an animal studies/ anthrozoology based reading challenge and I would love it if you'd join me! Any genre counts, as long as it pertains to the human-animal bond. Anthropomorphic stories can count too, i.e. Alice in Wonderland and her waistcoat wearing white rabbit. Possible reads can include fiction, non-fiction, rereads, children's stories, textbooks, wildlife journals, whatever you'd like. Remember, you don't have to have a blog to participate and you can comment anonymously if you prefer.

- The challenge will run from January 1st-December 31, 2012.
-Books may count toward other challenges.
- Choose where you want to go:

1-3 books = The Hundred Acre Wood
4-6 books = Rikki Tikki's Bungalow
7-9 books = Best Friends Animal Society
10 or more = The Jane Goodall Institute
