Cute illustrations, I think my favorite has to be the marmosets. The three year old saw the giraffe in the background and said that was his. Great little fact book that teaches how animals can behave like humans, specifically children.

5.0
I received an advanced review copy of this book.
I am only barely joking when I say that this book should be required reading in university introductory ecology courses.
The illustrations are bright and bombastic, but also full of wonderful detail that brings the worlds of animals to life. The language is accessible to virtually all age groups, while conveying information that was new to my ears as an ecological science professional. I was captivated from the first page, and I have no doubt that children will be too.
I believe that the facts about animals that this book shares will leave children with a life-long respect for, and admiration of, animal behaviour and the environment.
I can't think of a single thing I would change about this book and have no hesitation in recommending it to classroom educators, outdoor educators, parents, grandparents and libraries.

This is a nice book about how things humans like to do, are often done by animals as well. Bees dance, Gazelle play tag, there is is even a type of frog that likes to blow bubbles. And interesting cross between picture book, and nonfiction book. It works quite well.
