All kinds of people are friends in all kinds of different ways. It's the same for animal friendships too! Grey langur monkeys protect and look out for chital deer, hermit crabs and sea anemones go on adventures together, ostriches and zebras work together, and remora fish and lemon sharks that trust each other.

There are so many kinds of friendships and each one of them is special in its own unique way. This warm and friendly introduction to animal friendships is perfect for pre-schoolers to learn about the world around them, as well as seeing which friendships are similar to their own.
