Review by: Dr. Abby L. Schwarz, Langara College:
Amazing Things Animals Do, the RECIPIENT OF THE 2004 OUTSTANDING CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD from the Animal Behavior Society, discusses four aspects of animal behavior: helpful interactions, babies and family life, hiding and saving food, and communication. A "Who's who" at the end contains supplementary paragraphs on each species discussed. The information is fascinating, accurate and up-to-date, and Ms. Baillie's writing style is flowing, appealing and accessible. Children liked the variety and the "who's who" portion. One child commented,"I didn't know animals could do so much cool things! And I understand it!"
