"In addition to covering typical informational subjects, [Peter Wohlleben] speaks to high-interest questions and those not usually seen in children's books. For instance, readers can find out what happens to animal poop, if there can ever be too many animals, if animals dream .... A great resource for kids to start thinking about and exploring the natural world."
-Booklist
"Smart, fun, funny, and fact-packed, [Do You Know Where the Animals Live?] is an irresistible introduction to the endlessly enchanting lives of our fellow creatures."
-Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus
"I absolutely love this book. Children of all ages-and adults too-will be fascinated and motivated to
go out and explore the wonders of the animal kingdom in their area. Every family should have a copy and every school library one or more. In fact,
Do You Know Where Animals Live? should be part of the curriculum."
-Jane Goodall
"[Wohlleben] turns his keen eye to some incredible creatures to share his knowledge about what it's like to be an animal."

Archimedes Notebook"This book is so big-hearted, so inviting, and so packed with fun info and things to do that when I first saw it I kept thinking, 'I wish this existed when I was a kid.' You're lucky this terrific book is here now for you!"
-Carl Safina, author of
Beyond Words; What Animals Think and Feel"Peter Wohlleben's
Do You Know Where the Animals Live? is an excellent and easy-to-read rich source of information about the fascinating lives of many of the other animals-including neighbors we encounter daily-with whom we share our magnificent planet."
-Marc Bekoff, author of
Canine Confidential: Why Dogs Do What They Do and
Unleashing Your Dog: A Field Guide to Giving Your Canine Companion the Best Life Possible"This book is a perfect remedy for Nature Deficit Disorder. By posing questions, revealing little-known facts, and suggesting activities, Wohlleben delightfully cultivates curiosity and stokes stewardship in children and, I hope, their parents."
-Jonathan Balcombe, author of
Super Fly, and
What a Fish Knows"From the man who taught the whole world that plants 'talk,' and 'feel,' and warn their friends of danger, comes an utterly charming book for young readers. Parents: If you read this out loud to your children, I guarantee that you too will learn something you didn't know. I did not know, for example, that whales have no lips, and the mother must squirt milk into her child."
-Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, author of the
New York Times bestsellers
When Elephants Weep and
Dogs Never Lie about Love"The captivating photographic cover ...will reach out to student animal lovers. They will read this book for pleasure as they learn about all things wild animals....the author delivers....Interesting enough to be read cover to cover, this title would also work well for primary research with its table of contents and extensive index. Educators can use this title to teach these text features along with picture captions and an engaging, conversational narrative. Recommended."
