It’s a noisy world out there. Almost eight billion people are
saying hello, asking for directions, buying food, singing
lullabies, paying compliments, and all in their own languages –
of which there are six or seven thousand! And that’s just
humans… animals have millions of languages! Insects, birds,
reptiles, mammals and amphibians are all talking to each other too,
with grunts, squeaks and tweets, as part of the natural orchestra
that is Life on Earth. Some of those noises can sound scary, others
sweet… wouldn’t it be nice to be able to understand what they
were all trying to say? Author Dr Nick Crumpton acts as our
translator and guide through the animal kingdom in this fun, and
funny, book. He teaches us what our pet dog’s bark means and how
an orangutan says ‘Hello!’ (Whuuu-whuuu-whuuu just in case you
ever need it!). Each sound has been researched using recordings and
information from scientists in the field. This book will teach you
not just how to chat chicken but also gossip with gorillas, mumble
with meerkats and warble with whales. You’ll be ready for any
adventure into the animal kingdom.
