Explore the wild and wonderful world of animal senses with a dynamic work of childrens nonfiction. Humans experience the world through sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. But what if you had the compound eyes of a fly, the whiskers of a cat, or a whales ability to sense magnetic north? Theres a whole world of surprising senses out there, and fascinating adaptations that have allowed animals to make use of them. We cant interpret the faint vibration of an elephants faraway stomp, but learning how they keep in touch with family across the wide savannah helps us understand that we are more alike than different. Featuring accessible text from Emmanuelle Grundmann, inviting art from Clmence Dupont, and informational sidebars, a glossary, an index of animals, and a standard index, When Elephants Listen with their Feet is a lively nonfiction book that encourages curiosity aboutand respect forthe animals with which we share our planet.
