Amazing Things Animals Do

"An appealing introduction to the animal kingdom." You won't believe the amazing things that animals do -- how they communicate, how they find food, how they take care of their families. Amazing Things Animals Do is jam-packed with astounding animal facts designed to introduce children to the fascinating wonders of animal behavior. It is a compilation of all four titles from the series of the same name: "Little Wonders: Animal Babies and Their Families," "Time to Eat: Animals Who Hide and Save Their Food," "Side by Side: Animals Who Help Each Other," and "Wild Talk: How Animals Talk to Each Other." Did you know? Some tiny finches eat their dinners off the backs of giant Galapagos tortoises? An elephant's low rumble can travel right across the African plains? Sea otters wrap their babies in seaweed so they won't float away in the water? American alligator babies travel in their mothers' huge mouths? Cheerful watercolor artwork and a picture book format make this title especially appealing for young children and a wonderful resource for learning about the animal world for the first time. A "Who's Who" guide at the end of the book provides additional details about each species and its habitat, encouraging additional questioning and research for the older child.Baillie, Marilyn is the author of 'Amazing Things Animals Do ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781897066867 and ISBN 1897066864.
