In the world of animals, there are more than five senses. Humans
experience the world through sight, hearing, touch, taste, and
smell. We even have lesser-known senses that tell us about things
like temperature and balance. Most animals share most of those
senses with us—but some go beyond. There are birds that can feel
the Earth’s magnetic field, fish that use electricity, and plenty
of creatures that communicate through vibrations. We can’t
interpret the meaning of an elephant’s faraway stomp, but
learning how they keep in touch with family across the wide
savannah helps us understand that we are more alike than different.
Featuring accessible text from Emmanuelle Grundmann, inviting art
from Clémence Dupont, and informational sidebars, a glossary, an
index of animals, and a standard index, When Elephants Listen
with their Feet is a lively nonfiction book that encourages
curiosity about—and respect for—the animals with which we share
our planet. “This book highlights the extraordinary ways some
creatures’ unique senses are highly developed.”—School
Library Journal “The text is graceful and often
humorous….Sensational sensory stories.”—Kirkus Reviews

Explore the wild and wonderful world of animal senses with a
dynamic work of children's nonfiction. Humans experience the world
through sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But what if you
had the compound eyes of a fly, the whiskers of a cat, or a whale's
ability to sense magnetic north? There's a whole world of
surprising senses out there, and fascinating adaptations that have
allowed animals to make use of them. We can't interpret the faint
vibration of an elephant's faraway stomp, but learning how they
keep in touch with family across the wide savannah helps us
understand that we are more alike than different. Featuring
accessible text from Emmanuelle Grundmann, inviting art from
Clemence Dupont, and informational sidebars, a glossary, an index
of animals, and a standard index, When Elephants Listen with their
Feet is a lively nonfiction book that encourages curiosity
about-and respect for-the animals with which we share our planet.
