Dogs are jealous when their owners devote their attention to another dog, penguins can comfort other penguins when they are sad, dolphins hit the water surface with their fins to show they are angry, bats express their gratitude… emotions are not only for mammals, fish and birds have emotions, like we do!
We know today that animals can feel joy, fear, anger, sadness but also shame, confidence, or gratitude. These new discoveries explain their behaviour and their bonds.

 

13 emotions disclosed, and for each of them:
• Examples of various animals and the way they express their emotions.
• Unusual scientific information
• A little comic strip to describe the emotion of one of the animals.

Strong points:
✓ A book making the latest discoveries of ethologists available to children.
✓ Emotions: a very strong subject.
✓ Realistic illustrations and comic strips that show emotions of a great number of different animals.
