Enter a world where we shine a light on the similarities between ourselves and other living beings. Like us, many animals learn and can use tools. They experience emotions, have friends and show their love for one another.

They can construct majestic buildings that provide shelter for many families. They can also communicate with their companions and do all kinds of different jobs. Do you know who we’re talking about? If you guessed humans, you are mistaken. No, in this case we’re talking about termites! Humans have much more in common with them and other creatures than it might seem at first glance.

And that’s exactly what this book is about. Enter a world where we shine a light on the similarities between ourselves and other living beings. Like us, many animals learn and can use tools. They experience emotions, have friends, and show their love for one another. Open your mind and your heart, and learn to treat the living creatures around you with the respect and reverence they deserve. They have much to teach us!

"HUMANS AND ANIMALS: WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON is an intriguing collection of information about the way that animals and people are similar." ―YA Books Central
"The illustrations are bright, colorful, and boxy. Callout boxes line up examples from the text and add to the theories. Any child who loves reading about animals will appreciate this book, especially those who enjoy reading about or studying animal behavior. School libraries should buy this book to have on hand for behavioral studies. Public libraries should purchase for kids who love to browse nonfiction." ―Youth Services Book Review
"All classes of animals are represented, including mammals, birds, fish, and others. The boldly colored illustrations are cartoonish and even humorous at times, serving as an exciting backdrop to the book’s information. Seeing so many similarities will help children to develop respect and empathy for all kinds of living critters." ―Children's Literature
