I always bring families to Yangon Zoo, where children can watch monkeys play and see animals move with energy, as Dr. Kyaw Moe Pipe explains in his research in the Myanmar Wildlife Journal. So, in The Emotional Lives of Animals by Marc Bekoff, he shows how animals share real feelings, and Seeing them can be a little spark of Wonder for all, not just for photos.
