Eläimilläkin on parhaita ystäviä! Ne järjestävät pyjamabileitä, hemmottelevat ja antavat tyylivinkkejä, auttavat lastenhoidossa ja pitävät illalliskutsuja... No ei nyt sentään! Mutta vähän sinne päin. Tosiasiassa eläimet kyllä pitävät bestiksensä puolia ja auttavat, kuten ystävien kuuluukin. Tiedäthän, ne nyppivät roskat ja ötökät kamunsa turkista, auttavat ruoanhakureissulla ja varoittavat, kun leijona lähestyy lounas mielessään. Joskus ne tarjoavat kyydin tai pyytävät kämppäkaveriksi. Yhteistyö on voimaa. Jotkut ystävät tosin ovat melko tarrautuvia. Toisinaan ystävyys voi olla täysin yksipuolista, ja välillä todella rasittavaa. Niin tai näin, luonto on ihmeellinen! Sophie Corrigan on brittiläinen kuvittaja ja kirjailija. Corriganin huumoripitoisista kuvituksista välittyy rakkaus luontoon ja erikoisiin eläimiin, kuten aksolotleihin ja neitokakaduihin. Aiemmin häneltä on julkaistu mm. kirja Ihanan iljettävät eläimet (2020).

Gjør deg klar for å møte fornærmede dyr fra hele verden som har fått et ufortjente dårlig rykte av oss mennesker. Vi har alle et bestemt vesen som får huden vår til å krible og som gir oss frysninger: Edderkopper som får oss til å skrike, mus som får oss til å hoppe oppå møbler, eller flaggermus som får oss til å grøsse ved tanken på at de flagrer rundt i håret vårt.
