Book Synopsis
A book about animal symbiosis, that offers readers a close-up, step-by-step view of nature's fascinating partnerships. It shows you why a mongoose comes running when a warthog lies down, how a crab and an iguana help each other out, why ravens follow wolves, and more.

Trade Review
"Who better than a husband and wife team to spotlight intriguing partnerships in nature...Closeups, aerial views, and vignettes of animals realistically rendered in Jenkins's trademark collage have a cinematic quality. An author note about the different types of symbiotic relationships, as well as appended pages detailing each animal's size, habitat, and diet, reinforce the book's value as a scientific introduction to the topic."
