Drawing on stories of animals both wild and domestic, the two
authors, also best friends, created this book to put humans back
into the animal world. The more we learn about what other animals
think and do, they explain, the more we understand ourselves as
animals, too. Writes Montgomery, “The list of attributes once
thought to be unique to our species―from using tools to waging
war―is not only rapidly shrinking, but starting to sound less and
less impressive when we compare them with other animals’ powers.”

With humor, empathy, and introspection, Montgomery and Thomas
look into the lives of all kinds of creatures―from man’s best
friend to the great white shark―and examine the ways we connect
with our fellow species. Both authors have devoted their lives to
sharing the animal kingdom’s magic with others, and their
combined wisdom is an indispensable contribution to the field of
animal literature.
