Books with title Animal Taste

Nature is full of mysteries to be uncovered and wonders to be explored. The eighteen titles in this reading series plunge early readers into the endless fascination of the natural world. An array of important scientific concepts such as camouflage, habitat, identification of species and life cycles are presented in the simplest of words. A wonderfully clear and inviting text and a wealth of dazzling photographs result in an accessible format that invites repeat visits. Each title begins with a word list alerting readers to key words that will follow and ends with Fun with Phonics -- an excellent tool for parents and teachers -- and Fun Facts that will gently challenge young readers with extra items of interest.

The methods animals use to communicate with each other and with us are explored in depth in this fascinating book, written by two animal-behavior scientists. Packed with information on why and how wild creatures talk, this volume is also user-friendly because of its engaging anecdotes that sometimes tell about actual instances of animal interactions and other times suppose fact-based scenarios. Blended with straightforward documentary text and black-and-white photos, the pleasing narrative will help bring out the animal lover in any reader. Booklist, October 15, 1988
