About the Book

“Do you like to dance?” asks the first spread of this book. “Honeybees do, too!” follows. In a rhythmic, question-and-answer style, children are introduced to seven playful activities that they share with other animals. Expanding on the science is a brief explanation of what the animals are actually doing and why — for them, it’s not all fun and games!

Join gazelles, gray tree frogs, marmosets and more as they play tag, blow bubbles and even get piggyback rides! Who knew our animal friends were so much like us?

REVIEWS:

“Children will be fascinated by some of the animals feats cataloged here and may even be curious to see how well they might do in comparison.”
— Kirkus

“Whereas most animal books for this age group focus on one particular animal or habitat, this is a good introduction to a broader range and the unusual strengths and abilities that come with it.”
— Booklist

“Young readers who are interested in sports and animals are going to thoroughly enjoy this cleverly presented book.”
— Through the Looking Glass Children’s Book Reviews

“Sidebars offer concise profiles of the competitors, including their classifications, habitats, and diets. Kaner makes the most of a fun premise…”
— Publishers Weekly
