About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is obsessed with 'did you know' facts or is beginning to ask deep questions about how the world works. This graphic novel bridges the gap between natural science and world history by exploring the complicated relationship humans have with animals: some we love, and some we loathe. It is a fantastic tool for encouraging critical thinking and perspective-shifting. Through humorous and fast-paced comic panels, Andy Warner examines the history of everything from silkworms to carrier pigeons. The book treats young readers with respect, balancing lighthearted trivia with more complex themes of environmental impact and human responsibility. It is ideal for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a sophisticated but accessible look at how we have shaped nature, and how nature has shaped us in return.
