Synopsis

Find out how similar you are to your favorite animal and how.

We Are All Animals offers children an awe-inspiring new way to understand the animal kingdom.

This unique book reveals astonishing similarities in the anatomy - and many more characteristics - of humans and other animals, celebrating our entire furry, scaly, slimy, slippery, extended family.

Did you know that most animal bodies, including ours, are shaped like tubes? Or that humans share 75% of their genes with chickens? That rats are ticklish, and dolphins give each other names? Children will be delighted to discover how similar they are to bats, bees, dogs, frogs, jellyfish, giraffes, and many more. By encouraging readers to make connections between distant corners of the animal kingdom, this book celebrates the extraordinary ways in which all of Earth's creatures are connected.

Created in partnership with the Humanimal Trust, a charity advocating collaboration between physicians and veterinarians, this book is underpinned by cutting-edge medical science. The charity's founder - Professor Noel Fitzpatrick - is an internationally renowned veterinarian, who also stars in his own TV series, The Supervet (a nickname he has earned through the groundbreaking veterinary procedures he performs). He has written a foreword to the book, and his extensive medical expertise runs throughout every page.

Includes a glossary and index.
