Illustrated by
Marilyn Faucher.
Analogies between animal and human behavior are meant to help readers understand how animals act and why. Honeybees dance, gazelles play tag, leaf-cutter ants grow food for themselves. Pages depicting children in family activities alternate with pages illustrating similar animal actions, with paragraphs explaining the reasons for each behavior. Full-bleed, sometimes goofy watercolor illustrations supplement the text.
