If Animals Could Talk: A Children's Book for Adults by Josh Cassidy offers a hilarious take on what our animal friends might say if they could speak.

On these pages, you'll meet over 100 illustrated animals displaying a whole range of human emotions and foibles, from sassy to grumpy, arrogant to dejected, glib to nonplused. "How old did you say you were?" asks the cougar. "Rise and shine, assholes," trills the bird. "Ball is life," proclaims the hamster. "I have zero interest in seeing you later," quoth the alligator.

This book even includes the world's ugliest animal, according to the Smithsonian (we'll let you guess which one this is).

Prepare to giggle and belly laugh your way through this definitely not-for-kids, probably not-safe-for-work collection of brilliant insights into the filthy animals all around us.
