Narration To Books Too Much Salt and Pepper (Living Forest #2)
If one porcupine made for a good book then Sam Campbell thought that two would be even better. In the second book of his Living Forest series, Too Much Salt and Pepper, Campbell describes the adventures and lessons surrounding the titular “porkies” Salt and Pepper along with wise ol’ Inky during a year at the Sanctuary of Wegimind.The events of this book take place a few years after How’s Inky? as Sam and his wife Giny arrive at their animal sanctuary to discover the young porcupines Salt and Pepper eagerly awaiting them. The two “porkies” are friendly, funny, and very mischievous especially when they want to play. But as the year progresses, Pepper answers the call of the wild while Salt continued to want human companionship. Most the book centers around the week-long visit of Carol, a young friend of the Campbells, who wants to experience the nature they describe in their lectures. The experiences, stories, and lessons that Sam and Giny show Carol—along with a dose of porcupine mischievousness—as best they can in a week the lessons nature has taught them over the years.
With this book being twice as long as the previous Living Forest book, Sam Campbell fills it numerous stories of past adventures and misadventures while also detailing Carol’s weeklong stay during which occurs most of his famous philosophy. Campbell uses an older Inky to be the mouthpiece of his lessons and teachings to the intended younger audience of the book, yet Inky’s “woodsy philosophy” can be very instructive to adults as well while not being preachy.
Though a longer read, Too Much Salt and Pepper is wonderful nature read and I highly recommend it readers of all ages.

As much as I love reading books by "Tham Camel", I found this one kind of dragged for me.There was a lot of New Age philosophy woven into his nature lessons, more than I remember him having in some of his other books. And that's what mainly drove down my rating. I really enjoy his close-up encounters with the animal locals, but after or during the encounter, he just seems to shove all this New Age stuff into the reader's face, and that just really bugged me.If you've read this and have the sameI did not choose books for myself when I was small. Since I needed Braille or cassettes, they had to be ordered for me, from special libraries. So I don't know exactly how this book came to me, whether it was ordered by my mother, a teacher, or just one of those random happenings that make life wonderful. All I know is that this story captured my imagination.I was mesmerized by the idea of living in the wilderness, so close to nature that porcupines would waddle out from under the porch, and
This book (and the entire series) seems to be the antidote to our current entertainment consumption. Im reading this series aloud to my 9 year old boys. Reading these aloud is challenging since our writing styles have changed so much since the 1940s. My set belonged to my mother and she read them to me as a child. As I read them to my own children Im hearing where some of my own innate ideas originated. So if you can get by the verbal gymnastics and read slowly and with purpose these books are
I especially enjoyed the section on beavers. There are a lot of interesting facts and tales of animals and nature. The one thing that I could do without is the amount of naturalism in this book. This author mentions God, but gives so much credit to nature and not much to God, the Creator of nature. I am reminded of Rom. 1:25
Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely hated reading this. Waste of my time and life.
