Reviews

[Adriana Mendoza · Rating 3 out of 5]

How Animals Talk “is a photo essay. The author does a really good job at supporting the photographs with text. Readers gain so much information about how animals use their senses to communicate. “How Animals Talk” is not a difficult read. This is a good book to teach main idea and supporting details. It is also a good book to use if a teacher wants to integrate Science into the reading block.
