What Sheep Think about the Weather

“A breezily written yet wise and complex book on what animals think, feel and know, which just might make its readers better listeners … What Sheep Think About the Weather is a handbook for humility, full of lessons that we must quickly learn before our kind burns it all down.” – Sy Montgomery, Times Literary Supplement
“Thomas’s passion and concern for animals comes through in vivid scenes and poignant prose that reveals the importance of understanding animals on their own terms… an inspiring display of empathy.” – Publisher’s Weekly
“A sweet and sometimes sad journey into the natural world beyond humanity. This is for naturalists, birders, pet owners, and anyone who interacts with animals or would like to.” – Genevieve Williams, Library Journal
“Blend the lively, buoyant writing of an award-winning non-scientist with a boat-load of direct experiences with animals, and you have this book. I found it both illuminating and entertaining from start to finish.” – Jonathan Balcombe, NYT bestselling author of Super Fly and What a Fish Knows
“A must-read. Thomas steers us from our human-centric view of other animals–domestic and wild, big and small–helping open our senses to what they are telling us. Awe-inspiring, important, and timely.” – Marc Bekoff, PhD, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals
“Every single page of this marvelous book will challenge you, even enchant you. With intellectual thrills in spades paired with Amelia’s conversational style, it’s a delight to read. I cannot recommend it enough!” – Jeffrey Masson, author of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals
