Steve & Me

More about the book

Terri Raines took a vacation from her wildlife rescue work in Oregon, traveled to Australia, and there, at a small wildlife park, she met and fell in love with a tall, blond force of nature named Steve Irwin. They were married in less than a year, and Terri eagerly joined in Steve's conservation work. The footage of their crocodile-trapping honeymoon became the first episode of The Crocodile Hunter, and together, Steve and Terri began to change the world. Here Terri recounts the adventures they shared--wrangling snakes, saving crocodiles from poachers, swimming among whales. A gifted naturalist, Steve was first and foremost dedicated to rescuing endangered animals and educating everyone he could reach about the importance of conservation. In the hit TV shows that continue to be broadcast worldwide, Steve's enthusiasm lives on.--From publisher description.
