“‘Happy About Animals’ is a lovely look at a young boy’s love of animals. Reading through Duncan Levy’s eyes reminds us how we can use our passions to educate and encourage change. I know that this book will be a favorite in my classroom library.”

“‘Happy About Animals’ is a very thoughtful look at the creatures who share the world with us from a boy who not only enjoys wildlife, but is also keenly aware of the dangers animals face in our rapidly developing world. Kids of all ages, and their parents and teachers, will find Duncan Levy’s book insightful and fun!”
A Children’s Librarian
“I liked this book because there were lots of colorful pictures. My favorite was the flamingo. The facts were interesting and some were funny. My favorite animals were the hyena, lion, cheetah and polar bear. The only reason I may not read ‘Happy About Animals’ again is because a boy wrote it.”
Sierra Rodrigues – 8 year old girl
“We received the book today. I bought this for my son who is also an animal lover. He is special — he has down syndrome and often has difficulty with the animal books written by grown ups. I can say that Brett was delighted with this book. We took turns reading about the animals. He even enjoyed Duncan’s humor. Let Duncan know how much we appreciate his hard work.”
Norma, mother of a down syndrome child

Description
This is a book written by a kid for kids. Duncan Levy chose 18 land animals and 14 sea animals to research and share his opinion on. It contains facts that are fun to learn delivered through the type of wit you would expect from a bright 8-year old (now 11).
Animals on land Duncan discusses include: albatross, baboon, bobcat, cheetah, eagle, flamingo, gorilla, hyena, leopard, lion, moose, parrot, penguin, porcupine, red fox, seal tiger, walrus, wolf, and the polar bear. Animals in the sea include: boxfix, dolphins, eel, schools of fish, jellyfish, hammerhead, humback whales, killer whales, rays, salmon, sharks, and stonefish.
Read the intro paragraph from “Animals on Land” to get a feel for Duncan’s writing style. “Animals on land are fun to look at and can be fun to pet, particularly domestic animals. I love my grandparents cats. However, many of the animals in this book are wild animals, which can only be looked at. Petting them will result in losing fingers or an arm or worse. Yikes!”
