Summary: Fascinating book that everyone should read
Comment: This is a gem of a book. Written by the father of ethology, the study of animal behavior in nature, it provides a surprising amount of fascinating information in such a small book. He covers a variety of animals, both domestic and wild, and a number of issues, such as breeding behavior and aggression. I read this book twice, the first time I whipped through it. Only after I read it more deeply the second time did I realize just how much is covered. It's a short book, with nice drawings and cute stories. So everyone should read this book. Even if you don't think animal behavior interests you, you might be surprised and this is the book that will get you hooked on the subject.

Summary: GREAT book!!!!!!
Comment: This is a wonderful book with fun, easy to read, and informative information. The illustrations are cute and add an artsy touch to this book. Lorenz's brilliant discoveries have helped myself and other people better understand animal behavior. I have several animals at home and reading this book has helped me realize how unique each animal's behavior is. To listen to our three birds communicate through squaks, whistles, and squeaks is a truly enchanting experience. This book is awesome and I highly recommend it to all people, especially to those who are interested in animal behavior.

Summary: A beautiful book for all who love nature
Comment: Confession - I'd never heard of Konrad Lorenz (even though he won the Nobel Prize in 1973), and I don't usually read books by Naturalists.
I was driving between business meetings during the day, when I happened to tune in to BBC Radio 4 (same as National Public Radio in the USA), and by accident caught a book reading of Chapter 10 regarding Dogs. Then on another day I caught Chapter 11 on Birds. Captivated, I actually pulled over so that I could hear the whole chapter & find out what the book was and who the Author was.
Then I ordered the book as a treat to myself for Christmas.
Fantastic! With some abridging 'on the fly', this book could even be read to/by a younger audience say down to 8 years old, who would enjoy, laugh & cry at some of the stories contained herein.
I wish my science teacher had read this to me when I was 8, rather than do some silly experiments with boring pond life (Chapter 2 would have taught me more about Pond Life)!
