Book Description

This is a book written by a kid for kids. Duncan Levy chose 20 land animals and 11 sea animals to research and share his opinion. It contains facts that are fun to learn delivered through type of wit you would expect from a bright 8-year old.

Animals on land Duncan discusses include: albatross, baboon, bobcat, cheetah, eagle, flamingo, gorilla, hyena, leopard, lion, moose, parrot, penguin, porcupine, red fox, seal tiger, walrus, wolf, and the polar bear. Animals in the sea include: boxfix, dolphins, eel, schools of fish, jellyfish, hammerhead, humback whales, killer whales, rays, salmon, sharks, and stonefish.

Read the intro paragraph from "Animals on Land" to get a feel for Duncan's writing style. "Animals on land are fun to look at and can be fun to pet, particularly domestic animals. I love my grandparent’s cats. However, many of the animals in this book are wild animals, which can only be looked at. Petting them will result in losing fingers or an arm or worse. Yikes!"

Review

"'Happy About Animals' is a lovely look at a young boy's love of animals. Reading through Duncan Levy's eyes reminds us how we can use our passions to educate and encourage change. I know that this book will be a favorite in my classroom library." --Lauren Skye, Teacher, Portland, Oregon

"'Happy About Animals' is a very thoughtful look at the creatures who share the world with us from a boy who not only enjoys wildlife, but is also keenly aware of the dangers animals face in our rapidly developing world. Kids of all ages, and their parents and teachers, will find Duncan Levy's book insightful and fun!" --An Anonymous Librarian --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Happy About Animals: An 8-Year-Old's View on Sharing the Earth (Paperback)
I had a bunch of kids read this book and they loved that a child was speaking to them! It's a refreshing book. The grown-ups in charge of the book have let little Duncan's voice come through. Very nice!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who isn't Happy About Animals? This is terrific!, April 28, 2007

This review is from: Happy About Animals: An 8-Year-Old's View on Sharing the Earth (Paperback)
"Happy About Animals" is great - there are lots of colorful pictures and Duncan has a quirky writing style that will crack you up. As a mom to two boys, this is the kind of book they would love - written by a kid, full of facts, interesting details and humor. Give it as a gift to any child - it will keep them laughing and reading at the same time!
