Award-winning author Etta Kaner has created a fun, engaging exploration of some ways animals behave just like people. By highlighting connections between human and animal behaviours, she encourages children to develop compassion for other creatures and to recognise their place within the natural world. This book would make an excellent resource for early life science lessons on the characteristics of living things. The question-and-answer pattern of the text together with Marilyn Faucher's inviting, detailed illustrations work as an entertaining, interactive read-aloud as well.
