Talk, Talk, Squawk!: A Human's Guide to Animal Communication

By Nicola Davies

Book Overview

"This creative team adds to its cheeky series with this volume devoted to animal communication. . . . Entertaining and worthwhile." --School Library Journal

How does a stinkbug flirt, a bee give orders, or a panda say "back off? Animals find all sorts of ways to keep in touch without saying a word. They use colors, patterns, smells, movements, vibrations, sounds, and even electricity to communicate. From the chatter of dolphins to the click of a moth, from the stripes of a reef fish to the rumbling of elephants, this funny, fascinating book unlocks the mysteries of how animals talk and squawk to one another--and how humans try to talk back. Back matter includes an index and a glossary.
