Note: I accessed digital review copies of this book through Edelweiss and NetGalley. ( )

What a great idea. A book about how animals and kids are alike. In this very interesting yet quite fun title, readers are asked it they like to do something such as blow bubbles or play tag. On the next two-page spread, there is an illustration of a type of animal doing the same thing with a description about what they are doing and why they do it. There were several in this book that I did not know about. A great book about animals for young children, but it can be used for many things. When teaching about animals, their habits, adaptive skills etc, this would make a great book to introduce the unit or at a table for the children to read. The illustrations are wonderful. They are colourful and fun. Kids could have fun with this book acting out the various movements etc. A great book for any library; public, school or classroom. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

This was a great read. It can be read in different ways. I read it to my class, which is a lower level, therefore I only read the large text. They enjoyed being able to relate themselves to their favorite animals. I also read this book with my nephew who’s in the fourth grade and enjoys science and he enjoyed the scientific text. He was shocked to learn new things about animals he thought he knew so much about. I would have like for it to have just a little bit more information I could have read to my lower level students.

This is a very colorful picture book that talks about how our human behaviors are very similar to certain animal behaviors. I actually learned a few facts myself. Kids love the bright and colorful pictures with the non fiction attribute.

Thanks to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Bees dance, gazelles play tag, and cattle egrets play leapfrog. There are many things that animals do that humans do too. This is a wonderful approach to teaching children about animals. There may be more children becoming ethologists after reading this book. ( )
