Bookroo's summary

Explore the wild world of unexpected animal partnerships, where a bird babysits crocodile hatchlings and a beetle tidies a mouse's home. In a realm of predators, these alliances reveal nature's surprising friendships. What other curious bonds exist in the animal kingdom?

From the publisher

In the animal kingdom, you just can’t predict who will be friends with whom. One type of bird baby-sits for newborn crocodiles; there is a beetle that cleans a mouse’s house; and a certain fish leads blind shrimp through underwater traffic. In a world full of predators, the most unlikely creatures form alliances to help each other survive. Although the ways in which these creatures interact might seem outlandish, their behavior is real animal nature. And kids will love learning about funny and fascinating animal friendships around the globe.
