“Any child convinced the family dog has feelings gets backup here: rats laugh when tickled. Children come away seeing themselves in other creatures, and treating them with new respect.”
Ants that farm, bees that vote, an octopus that does impressions.
Humanimal is an illustrated non-fiction book about the surprising ways other animals behave just like people do.
Are humans really so different from every other creature? This book asks children to look again, gathering animals that farm, vote, laugh when tickled and even hold funerals. Topics sit in themed sections, such as Community and Intelligence, with chatty text and bold, stylised art.
What they'll discover
- How leafcutter ants have been growing their own fungus food for 60 million years or more.
- The mimic octopus, which can disguise itself as at least 15 other animals.
- Why a harmless butterfly copies the African monarch's warning colours to fool predators.
By Christopher Lloyd · Illustrated by Mark Ruffle · English
Quick answers
What does the title mean? It joins "human" and "animal", because the book shows how much people share with other creatures, from teamwork to clever thinking.
Is it good for reading together? Yes. The chatty text draws readers in, for instance by asking what alien researchers would write about Earth, which gets families talking.
