Illustrated by
Sue Truesdell.
These informative, good-natured guides to pet behavior emphasize the importance of learning the ways in which pets communicate emotions through their actions, facial expressions, and body positions. The combination of photos of the author and cartoony illustrations of animals works against the factual insistence of the texts; however, the illustrations are for the most part skillful at capturing familiar animal expressions.
