A wonderful comperative introduction to animals and humans for children written in Charlesovac's warm and expressive style.

Charles Kovac's taught in Edinburgh so there is a Scottish flavour to the animals discussed in the first half of the book, including seals, red deer and eagles. In the later chapters he covers elephants, horses and bears.

This is a fac-scinating and engaging resource for teachers and home schoolers that is used in the Steiner-Waldorf curriculum for 9-11 year olds.
