Children love animals—cats, dogs, elephants, tigers, lions, and many others. In fact, adults also love animals, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many animal scientists in the world. However, children and adults, especially animal scientists, have different ways of loving animals. While animal scientists may mention animals like cats and dogs, they often use so many unfamiliar terms, cumbersome technical jargon, and strange professional language. But what children are interested in are the countless "whys" about animals and countless true stories—real stories. Therefore, books for children about animals should start like this: "Why are elephants' ears so big?" "Why don't snakes have fur?" That’s right, they should be like this book, full of facts that children want to know. Books written in this way can work wonders on children, making them fall more in love with animals and understand them better. In this cycle of asking—learning, then asking—learning, our children gradually grow up. Eventually, some of them might even become excellent animal scientists.
