Customer Reviews

Good Book!

I liked the book but also found it a bit short on information. Kids will love the photos but it could have been made more interesting.

how do you communicate?

Communication is very important in today's world. Have you ever thought about how it started? This book teaches us all about the various forms of communication. Starting with animal communication, taking us through alphabets, letters all the way to the internet! Lots of great information is packed into this book! I liked the fact that at the end of each chapter has a section called Go Further. This section features vocabulary words, websites, and booklists that kids can look for to learn more. This is a great book for kids ages 8-11 interested in animals of all types. They will enjoy the mix of pictures and useful information. The book would even make a great resource for report writing
