Same and Different

Zoology seems to be a rather mysterious and unknown science, yet the study of the characteristics and life of animals is very fascinating: how did the giraffe get its long neck? What does a warthog tell a wildbeest when they meet in the savana? What happened when dinosaurs all died out? What secret will the journalist shrew reveal with its next interview? This is a little dissemination journey in twenty short stories, an opportunity to uncover something new about their lives, habits and the evolution that made them what they are – and from their own point of view. This is a book to fall in love with zoology, thanks to a very simple and amusing style and to the lovely yet realistic illustrations by Laura Martinuzzi.
