Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. Packed with interesting facts, this spacious, large-size picture book combines a lively, informal text with big, bright, realistic illustrations, photographs as well as original artwork, that show animals in their environment. The format is similar to the DK design, but it's less busy. Each double-page spread brings together a wide range of wild creatures. There are chapters on communication with sound, smell, and body language, and one section shows how giraffes, elephants, zebras, and lions on the African savanna "say hello." In one picture a firefly is sending light messages with its body; in another, a peacock spreads its glory across two pages. A final section about communication between animals and humans looks at zoologists' work with dolphins and chimpanzees. There are also occasional experiments for children to do with adult help. Unfortunately, there are no sources for children who want more, but this is still an excellent choice for sharing and reading aloud. Hazel Rochman

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-This book is by no means a comprehensive resource; instead, it delivers interesting facts on an assortment of mammals, insects, fish, and birds. The chapter "Saying it with sound" shares select nuggets of information about the calls and percussive noises employed by certain monkeys, birds, elephants, and some marine life. "Saying it with smell" covers the ways in which some species generate odors from their bodies to send mating messages, mark territory, and direct others of their species to food. Other chapters examine body language, vibrations, luminescence, and sign language. The end of each unit features a simple exercise designed to reinforce the preceding lesson; some of them are more easily reproduced by children than others. The exercise on smell, for instance, simply requires participants to blindfold a friend and then wave a perfumed piece of paper towel; Kaner's study of vibrations, on the other hand, introduces Morse code and requires considerably more manual dexterity and abstract thought. Douglas's photo-realistic artwork contributes considerably to the overall effectiveness of this presentation. Browsers will find their curiosity piqued by this fine introduction to communication throughout the animal kingdom.

Winner of Animal Behavior Society Children's Book Award 2003
27. Oktober 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Animal Talk is the most recent contribution to an excellent series of animal behavior and ecology books by Etta Kaner and is the recipient of the Animal Behavior Society's 2003 Outstanding Children's Book Award. The book presents animal communication by dividing communication up by context, including "Saying it with Sound," "Saying it with Smell," and "Body language." In each section, Greg Douglas' outstanding illustrations are paired with descriptions of appropriate examples, often including the method of communication (e.g. woodpeckers hammering on hollow logs to send sound over 1 km) and the possible functions of the behavior (e.g. calling for a mate or defending its territory). Also present in each section are two clever and engaging approaches: hands-on experiments that demonstrate a particular point (e.g. waving a paper towel near perfume to demonstrate why ring-tailed lemurs wave their tails during fights) and a "If you were a (animal species)" box, in which more facts are given for a particular species (e.g. "If you were a howler monkey, you'd live in the tropical rainforests of South America..."). Animal Talk does a nice job of including both familiar animals, such as tigers and dolphins, as well as less familiar animals, such as California ground squirrels and water striders. Each section has enough examples to effectively illustrate the point but not so many as to make it difficult to read. However, this book does include lots of information and for younger readers it may be best tackled one section at a time. Children readers consistently commented that they liked the pictures, the amount of information, and the experiments that they could try.
