本書由榮獲 LOLLIES 獎肯定的作家 David Baddiel 創作，是一則結合爆笑情節與成長思考的冒險故事。主角 Malcolm 一點也不喜歡動物，偏偏他的家人卻愛得要命，家裡擠滿了各種寵物，卻沒有他最想要的筆電。原本唯一值得期待的，是六年級的校外教學。沒想到，目的地竟然是一座農場。接下來發生的事，完全超出 Malcolm 的想像——他不只被迫更近距離地認識動物，甚至還體驗了「成為動物」的感覺。這些改變影響了他的行為、語言與生活方式，也讓他重新思考自己是誰。本書在歡笑之中，細膩描寫自我認同的過程，讓讀者在輕鬆閱讀中留下餘韻。From David Baddiel, the brightest new star of children’s books and winner of the LOLLIES award, comes a laugh-out-loud adventure for every child who ever wondered what it might be like to be a bit of an animal…Malcolm doesn’t like animals.Which is a problem because his family love them.
