This set of animal books is hilarious. I bought it for my husband because we both work in a bookstore and had never known Aristotle wrote an animal book. I thought it was a novel idea and thought it would be interesting reading. It is just hilarious. We have a weird sense of humor though. We will sit there and read it out loud to each other and crack up. It's not meant to be funny, of course. Maybe it's the wording or the translation or weird ideas/incorrect science, but it's pretty funny. Not really useful as a scientific study. More for historical sake. Did you know, for example, dogs suffer from three diseases? They are rabies, dog strangles and foot ill. Yes, this is the kind of thing you will learn from Aristotle's animal books.
