Steve and Me - Teri Irwin

Steve and Me - Teri Irwin (2007)
I have to admit for years, that if the Crocodile Hunter was on television, I switched channels as I was annoyed by his over the top prescence. Then however, as the world discovered him, more and more 'documentry' shows like 60 minutes intereviewed him, and I began to see that his over enthusiasm was just his passion showing through and that he was an honest and engaging bloke.

Teri Irwin has written this book still in the midst of grief, after Steve Irwins death in 2006, but it is a nice glimpse of the great love their family shared, and the amazing life they led. A 4/5 for me, and it made me want to go and put some khaki on - maybe though we will go to the zoo today, and think of Steve.
