Humans & Animals
A book you can spend hours flicking through.
People rely on animals. We cuddle our dogs, ride horses, eat eggs and drink milk. But do animals rely on us humans? Stern Nijland’s fact-filled book, complete with realistic illustrations, sets out the many ways in which people’s and animals’ lives are intertwined.

Splash! Did you know that many seagulls suffer from diarrhoea? They eat far too many chips and other fatty foods humans leave behind. And why is Colombia home to 160 hippos? They were secretly imported by Pablo Escobar, a drug lord, to create his very own zoo... until they escaped!
Humans and animals have lived side by side since records began. This book offers an in-depth exploration of that relationship. How we collaborate and co-exist. How we treat wild and domesticated animals. How we look up to them. How we use them. How similar humans and animals really are. And how animals have come to rely on humans.
Mens en dier is a fully-formed animal fact book, each page as compelling as the next. Nijland invites the reader to absorb and reflect on philosophical questions – “Do you think people are taking good care of the planet?” – as well as the many facts present throughout the book. Just why do people get goosebumps? The realistic drawings make the reading experience even more enjoyable.
An educational and engaging book for independent or shared reading by children aged 8 and up.
