Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Most readers know that bees can communicate with one another and that elephants have graveyards, but Lloyd's exploration of animals goes further, with details about farming fish and playful ravens. For each topic (community, feelings, intelligence), the author offers examples of animals that engage in behavior similar to humans' and describes the scientists who made these discoveries. Illustrations are detailed and engaging. Text is informative enough for research and readable. Comparisons between human and animal behavior are drawn well, leading readers to exciting conclusions about our relationship with the animal world. An excellent glossary, a long index, and a detailed list of sources make this a fantastic resource, but the segment on the many scientists who contributed to the research really put this title over the top. VERDICT A fun and thought-provoking look at animals that are just like us. An excellent choice for any nonfiction collection. - School Library Journal Starred ReviewBased on decades of experts' research and scientific observation, Christopher Lloyd (Absolutely Everything : A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention) invites readers to cultivate respect and empathy for the Earth's other living creatures by enumerating their relatable similarities to humans. Under the theme of 'Community', Lloyd describes how bees and Canadian geese engage in teamwork, how ants and fish act as farmers to provide themselves with the specific foods they need, and how so many creatures engage in play. 'Feelings' gives examples of animals' emotional responses (love, aggression, grief); 'Intelligence' relates how animals show self-awareness, communicate, solve puzzles, invent tools, and practice deception as a survival tool. Mark Ruffle's gorgeous illustrations and rich color palette capture images of all manner of flora and fauna. Lloyd includes a glossary as well as profiles of the ecologists, ethologists, marine biologists, psychologists, and zoologists sourced in the book. - Parents' Choice Gold Award WinnerEye-opening discoveries for readers who think only humans grieve, play, or admire themselves in mirrors. - Kirkus ReviewsFilled with fascinating, true-to-life vignettes revealing that animals might not be so different from humans after all. Highly recommended, especially for school and library nonfiction picture book collections. - Midwest Book ReviewA wonderful book that celebrates the living world and raises awareness of our interconnectedness to other species. The illustrations, in a bold graphic style, perfectly complement the text. Readers will be amazed to discover that many of the things we believe set humans apart are actually ones we share with other mammals, as well as fish, insects and even slime mold. - Youth Services Book Review.
