About this title: From the bestselling author of "When Elephants Weep" and "Dogs Never Lie About Love" comes an illuminating look at the bond of fatherhood in the human and animal worlds. The controversial psychoanalyst explores ten of the world's "best dads" (including wolves, penguins, and seahorses) and the "worst dads" (lions, langurs, bears--and humans).

"A wonderful, touching look at the animal world and a real show of the arrogance and ignorance of humanity to think we are the only ones to think and feel."
"Fatherhood means different things to different species. I found this book fascinating, especially when the author compared the role fathers play in wild versus domesticated species."
"animal behavior has been fascinating to me recently, so i was very interested in the premise of this book. i was very disappointed. the book was very poorly organized. unorganized writing usually doesn't bother me too much, but this was such a random collection of stories about animals that i had a hard time understanding what he was getting at. i like what he has to say about the role of human fathers, but nothing he said about non-human fathers did anything to support his ideas about human fathering. he made a lot of statements about animals falling in love, feeling sad, making choices, etc. that i don't necissarily disagree with, but the way he presented them seemed out of place and unconvincing. i'm not sure why i gave the book two stars instead of one. there was some interesting information about animal behavior, and i guess i just appreciate the fact that the author it trying to get a better grasp on fatherhood."
