Book Description
Are you a chatterbox? You might have a lot in common with dolphins. Maybe you are adventurous, like penguins. Or you love to eat and play together with your “pack” of friends, like wolves do. All animals have powers that humans can learn from and that often show us a way we can grow. Giraffes may be the world's tallest animal, but they are very gentle; polar bears are strong but they also love to cozy up in a warm place. This creative and beautifully illustrated book will help children, ages 3 and up, discover their favorite animal and encourage them to practice fun activities inspired by the animal’s behavior. Kids can find peace with sloth yoga, waddle-race while mimicking a penguin, and design a garland to pay tribute to their animal pack. The book features 12 animals.

The Truth About Animals
Author: Lucy Cooke
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465094651
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Mary Roach meets Bill Bryson in this "surefire summer winner" (Janet Maslin, New York Times), an uproarious tour of the basest instincts and biggest mysteries of the animal world Humans have gone to the Moon and discovered the Higgs boson, but when it comes to understanding animals, we've still got a long way to go. Whether we're seeing a viral video of romping baby pandas or a picture of penguins "holding hands," it's hard for us not to project our own values -- innocence, fidelity, temperance, hard work -- onto animals. So you've probably never considered if moose get drunk, penguins cheat on their mates, or worker ants lay about. They do -- and that's just for starters. In The Truth About Animals, Lucy Cooke takes us on a worldwide journey to meet everyone from a Colombian hippo castrator to a Chinese panda porn peddler, all to lay bare the secret -- and often hilarious -- habits of the animal kingdom. Charming and at times downright weird, this modern bestiary is perfect for anyone who has ever suspected that virtue might be unnatural.

When the speediest family in the world finds a sweet, slow sloth on their doorstep, they take him in. But, little do they know, their new pet has quite a bit to teach them.
