For all our power and importance, humans are not the only inhabitants of the earth. This visually striking book for readers 5 and up reminds us that not only do we share an ecosystem with other living things, but that we can also learn much from the behavior and instincts of our animal neighbors. Beautifully arranged and ravishing in their effect, Pablo Salvaje's handcrafted, softly colored prints depict a wide range of creatures—from jellyfish and peacocks to polar bears and snakes. With chapters on love, survival, and change, the text ranges across the planet to show how animals, like humans, form bonds, engage in rivalries, adapt their behavior to cope with challenges, and do anything to protect their offspring.
