It also reassures readers that same-sex attraction, interaction, and sexual intercourse is completely natural, both in the animal and human realms." "This is a groundbreaking young adult publication that documents new insights into animal behavior, including research previously repressed or ignored. "A fun exploration of same-sex behavior across the animal kingdom, Queer Ducks (and Other Animals) will have dry biology textbooks shaking in their book covers."
