Testo aggiuntivo
You know about dogs, cats, horses, pigs, and other animals, and you may even have some as pets. But, did you know that some of these animals helped humans in big ways? Well, in this book, you read about just that! It wasn’t only dogs, cats, horses, and pigs, it was also cheetahs, geese, and even pigeons! I learned so many things from this book! For example, dolphins often rescued people from ships that had sunk. There was even a dolphin who helped ships find what they were looking for! I also learned that in ancient Greece, instead of using barbells to exercise, people simply picked up cows! The illustrations in this book were very fun. Overall, I had an awesome time reading this book, and I was surprised a lot! ―Kids Book Buzz
