"These examples and many more give a fascinating insight to the similarities between species and promote sympathy with the animal world - which can only be a good thing for future generations."

"This over-sized hardback non-fiction title is presented in a logical and accessible format. Lloyd has split the book into chapters of different characteristics such as community, feelings and intelligence and then provided interesting examples of different species that exhibit similar behaviour to humans. Lloyd also introduces each chapter, asking the reader to think about their own experience while giving examples from his life with two dogs.

The character and appeal of the book is heavily influenced by the design and illustration provided by Mark Ruffle whose artwork is vector graphics based with a muted colour palette. With solid background colours and the blocks of text the book is laid out in an orderly and easy to read design.

This is a superb non-fiction title that is enjoyable to read from cover to cover or simply to dip into for some fascinating facts. An outstanding book with an intriguing title which will entice the most reluctant of readers."

"A great way for young readers to learn about empathy."
