Critter Chat: What If Animals Used Social Media?

By Rosemary Mosco

Book Overview

Get in on the conversation! In Critter Chat, every habitat has a group chat. In the African savanna, a lion (screenname- Just_Lion_Around) declares his territory with a text-based ROAR! Meanwhile, zebra and cheetah send eyeroll emojis. In the North American suburbs, a carpet beetle texts the family dog, reassuring him that his humans will return-eventually. Among surprising, laugh-out-loud conversations like these, you'll find tons of parody social media posts from all your favorites in the animal kingdom, including Instagram-style inspirational posts and silly Yelp reviews. An adorable dumbo octopus posts a selfie (#FeelingCute). And a frustrated narwhal reviews an extra-long toothbrush. (It's still too short-of course!) Inside, there are also plenty of fascinating nonfiction features that give readers the scoop on actual animal communication (Did you know that white rhinos communicate with poop? It's true!), and real-life animal influencers who are making waves online and in our hearts. In a conveniently portable size, this handy little treasure can be carried anywhere, for a good laugh anytime! It's the perfect book for reluctant readers, animal lovers, and yucksters young and old.
