Human Being, Animal Being: Children's Interactions with Animals (Lives in Context)

"Gene Myers, writing in a very clear style, opens a special window on children's relations with animals. I expect that Children & Animals will be enjoyed by developmental, moral, cognitive, & environmental social scientists, as well as by more than a few parents." John Snarey Emory University; author of How Fathers Care "This book presents a radical reappraisal of the importance of animals in human development. Through his observations of preschoolers' relations with classroom pets, Myers posits that animalhuman interaction plays a uniquely significant role in the growth of preverbal self-awareness & moral sense."
