Pests and Pets (Andy Warner's Oddball Histories)

What do space dogs, medal‑winning pigeons, and island‑overrunning bunnies have in common? They’re all part of this whimsical, fact‑packed journey through the curious history of our animal companions. In Pests and Pets, author‑illustrator Andy Warner combs through archaeology, archives, and pop culture to uncover the sometimes heartwarming, often hilarious, and always surprising stories of how animals have shaped human history.

Organised into short, comic‑style chapters, the book covers an array of creatures: dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, goldfish, guinea pigs, rabbits, sheep, cows, donkeys, pigs, bees, chickens, mice, rats, cockroaches, sparrows, pigeons, and raccoons. For each animal, Warner delivers a lively mix of storytelling, factual tidbits, and full‑colour graphic panels. Readers will discover how bees dance to communicate, how a popular anime helped create a raccoon problem in Japan, why Victorian Londoners once kept ribbon‑adorned rats as lap pets, and how a dog named Laika became the first living creature in space.
