Why read it?
1 author picked The Truth about Animals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love science and animals. Lucy Cooke, author, is a zoologist, author, and film director. She uncovers many falsehoods from leading scientists that were believed to be true at the time. These are theories from scientists such as Aristotle, Georges Curvier, and others from past centuries. For instance, scientists wondered what happened to birds in the winter. Curvier believed some bird species hibernated under water! The book is charming and quite funny.
