This animal book explores the many clever and creative ways animals
communicate with each other, from head-turning howls to
jaw-dropping dances. For many animals, communicating is as
important to their life chances as finding food and water. Animal
Talk is a brilliant introduction to ingenious communication
strategies in the natural world. Whether it is releasing a cloud of
ink to confuse, roaring to intimidate, dancing to attract a mate or
howling to locate one another, the range of messaging methods in
the natural world is quite astonishing (and sometimes quite
disgusting!). Perfect for children aged 7-9, the animal book is
filled with intriguing illustrations and spectacular photographs of
the amazing, obscure, and unusual. You'll never look at nature the
same way again! This captivating animal book for children offers: -
A fascinating array of animal communications from a wide variety of
different species for children aged 7-9. - Expertly written text
and accompanying images to clearly explain each animal
communication. - Several sections which break down different animal
themes, such as sounds, scents, and signals to make the content
easy to understand. - Incredible facts about how animals
communicate - including how elephants communicate over huge
distances by listening through the soles of their feet, how whales
communicate through song, and more. Meet birds and spiders who
dance to attract a mate, vultures that are sick on their own food
to put off other animals, lions who roar at rival prides to test
out their strength, and many more. Animal Talk is a must-have for
the animal-obsessed, as well as making an interesting resource for
school and libraries. At DK, we believe in the power of discovery.
