The Human Side of Animals by Royal Dixon helps readers understand the animal kingdom by humanizing them. It teaches how animals use math, mine for minerals, conserve food, scavenge, steal, camouflage, and even make music. These acts were often considered uniquely human, and by showing that animals do them as well, it helps foster appreciation and respect for these beautiful creatures out in the wilderness.
