How to Speak Animal

We know animals can't speak and express themselves in the same way as humans ... but even the smallest and quietest animals have incredible ways of communicating with each other. With wildlife veterinarian expert Dr. Gabby Wild as a guide, How to Speak Animal helps kids understand how animals communicate through sound, body language, and behavior. It's full of expert insights and real-life stories of humans exploring ways to "talk" to animals, from teaching great apes sign language to speaking "dolphin." Packed with super-engaging animal photography that helps illustrate key concepts, this fascinating bookprofiles more than 60 different creatures-from birds to mammals to reptiles and more-and their amazing ways of communicating with each other. If you've ever wondered why gorillas beat their chests and make hooting noises, what it means when chameleons change color, or why some elephants twist their trunks together, this is the book for you!
