Offering new perspectives in childhood studies and animal studies, this book critically addresses children and pets in our families, our cultures, and our societies, exploring issues such as protection, discipline, mastery, wildness, play, and domestication.

This global collection shows how discourses linking children and pets are pervasive and work across cultures.
