THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER: LOVE IN THE ANIMAL WORLD

Humans do not need words to express their feelings. They can use a smile, offer
a gift or simply be there. In this way, we humans are a lot like our animal
friends. Even when spiders, fish, birds, in other word all types of animals are
young and meet someone they like, sparks fly and love is born. Each animal has
its own way to win the heart of a mate that in some cases will be its mate for
life.

This book is a collection of love stories starring romantically monogamous
animals like wolves, eagles, lovebirds and penguins. There are also the stories
of animals whose courting rituals are surprisingly creative, like the dance of
the blue-footed booby or the synchronous flashing of fireflies. The result is
truly an ode to love, tender and ironic, fun and colourful, thanks to the
stunning images created by Isabella Grott.
