Nuzzling, Hugging, Grooming – How Animals Show Feelings

How animals show friendship and affection

Cuddling with Daddy, getting a kiss from Mummy, playing and quarreling with siblings – animal behaviour is similar to that of humans. But how do animals demonstrate that they like each other? How do they support and help each other? And what do animal babies need to sleep peacefully at night?

This non-fiction picture book is all about mummy-and daddy-love, forming friendships, falling out and making up, and mutual help among animals as diverse as dogs, apes, kangaroos, elephants, or even seahorses.

  • Examples from the animal kingdom help kids understand their own feelings – ideal for kindergarten kids  
  • Beautifully illustrated – realistic but nevertheless emotional
Genre: Non-Fiction, Children's Books / YA, Picture-Book
