this is what it looks like in my head when i think of animals reading "how to.." books that we humans so commonly read. I find it amazing that animals just know instinctively what to do and we seem to be getting further from those natural instincts. list of animals and their books: possum (how to play dead), zebra (how to blend in), barn owl (how to find the perfect mate), bear (how to open garbage cans), lion (how to rock big hair), butterfly (how to change into a butterfly), rabbit (how to manage a large family), elephant (how to eat all day), monkey (how to throw poo), tiger (how to vary a meat only diet), turtle (how to age gracefully), and a boxer puppy (how to be le roi (the king)) which was the name of my dog who just passed. for the book contest
