Love her. ( )

Written in the 90s so later than most of her books. She compares different human behaviors to animals. Can't say that I liked this one overly well some of her others have been much much funnier, but still a few laughable moments. ( )

Good, humorous fun. Erma compares different aspects of Homo Sapiens to different critters in the animal world. ( )

In this funny, quick-to-read book Bombeck compares the human animal to those of the true animal species. The similarities between an aging dog's bladder and that of a post-menopausal woman are right on the mark. Bottle-nosed dolphins that were trapped in ice for a short time near New Jersey lost their sense of direction and swam south instead of north; too proud to ask for directions guys? A wildebeest will stop at nothing to get where he wants to go - swim through rivers infested with crocodiles, endure floods and enemies to reach his destination. Similarly will a woman with a 'standing' appointment for a hairdresser overcome any obstacle to make her slotted time. Yes, some of the comparisons are far-fetched but the outcome is a fun book full of Bombeck's humor. Maybe you'll even be laughing like a hyena when you've finished. ( )

Observations about humans and human society derived from the animal kingdom. A few humourous observations, however the book overall did not appeal to me. ( )
