Discover how to talk to your pet, with vet and star of Channel 4’s Fur Babies and CBBC’s The Pets Factor, Dr James Greenwood.

What does it mean when a dog’s tail wags round and round like a helicopter?
What is a cat is trying to say when its ears are pricked up?
And what on earth is a rabbit trying to tell you when it eats its own poo?

From cats and dogs to horses, hamsters, rabbits and more, animals all have something to say. Learn how to read the clues your pet is trying to give you, find out what they need, and discover how to communicate with them, too!

Buzzing with brilliant facts and packed with hilarious illustrations, this pet companion book is the perfect gift for young animal-lovers.

Jack Viant

Jack Viant is an illustrator and designer from Plymouth, UK. Jack is inspired by cartoons, picture books, packaging, toys and advertising campaigns aimed at children. Jack was a 90’s kid so he grew up with angular cartoons, absurd characters, and even more ridiculous storylines and so he tries to bring an element of this into his work.
