This book offers an overview of fourteen symbiotic animal relationships, such as that between rhinos and cattle egrets. Each pairing or group is profiled in two or three pages. The brief text provides a short description of the animals, what their functions are, and how they cooperate with their allies. The brightly colored illustrations feature anthropomorphized creatures, which may attract younger naturalists.

Nelly and Sam, two clumsy bears, run to a nearby lake to catch fish. The other bears don't want them around but let them stay when they promise to behave. Soon a huge school of fish swims by, and a frenzy ensues. The bears don't catch any fish (through no fault of Nelly or Sam's) and go home empty-handed yet content. The simple story, illustrated with energetic paintings, is slight but upbeat.
