Why do birds sing at dawn? How does an ant relay a discovery of food to other ants? How do whales create their haunting songs? Can humans and other animals really "talk" to each other?
Award-winning science author Margery Facklam explores the marvels and mysteries of animal communication through a discussion of a wide variety of creatures--from elephants, who rumble to one another infrasonically, to fireflies, who use their "living lights" to send messages to potential mates.
As in the other books of this highly acclaimed series--And Then There Was One: The Mysteries of Extinction; Do Not Disturb: The Mysteries of Animal Hibernation and Sleep; and What Does the Crow Know?: The Mysteries of Animal Intelligence--Margery Facklam's lively writing and Pamela Johnson's finely detailed pencil drawings open up a unique window into a most intriguing aspect of animal behavoir.
Margery Facklam and Pamela Johnson collaborated on three other titles in his highly acclaimed series: And Then There Was One: The Mysteries of Extinction; Do Not Disturb: The Mysteries of Animal Hibernation and Sleep; and What Does the Crow Know?: The Mysteries of Animal Intelligence. Ms. Facklam lives in upstate New York; Ms. Johnson lives in Sedgewick, Maine.
