This thesis inspects the relationships of Berlin city pupils to animals by evaluated of their schoolbooks, attended their classes and questioning the pupils and their teachers. The 29 books were used in a Berlin a school, grade 1 to 4. Analysis of the texts,images regarding their content and representation of animals was developed and applied.
The four first grade school class had special and unspecial hours with animal topics. In the most topics hours the pedagogens did not emphasize the biological knowledge. Domestic animals were overly emphasized, excluding the economical animal.
The questening of the 93 school kids concerning the animal-kid interactions, revealed the importance of animal to kids. It was the external appearance as well as some featheres of the animals witch interested the pupils. The four teachers mentioned that the animal- kid-interaction is an important element in education. The animal-kid-interaction during school lessons should be acknowledged and the animal themes shuold be integrat part of the education. The investigation showed the animal content in the evaluated school books was by far a vehicle of learning content and the knowledge gain about the animal was a minor consideration.

Teachers and veterinarians should take into consideration this open childish attitude towards the animal world and aim at a more realistic confrontation and knowledge about fauna and flora.
