I love it! I always love these kinds of practical science books and this one is particularly excellent. The illustrations are detailed and fantastic and there are such great explanations of animal communication.
I highly recommend this book for almost everyone, because it would be great for a story hour, and even more fun for friends and family to read together while acting out what they're reading.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

Does your family play ‘What am I?” guessing game?
This book would be a great launch pad for those fun family times! Plants, places, animals, insects, and fish are presented in double paged spreads. I never knew there were SO MANY ways to communicate! One animal that I have not heard of before is the African Demon Mole Rat.

The illustrations are colorful and detailed. I find it easy to imagine what life is like for the creature described. I especially like the animal’s thought and comment bubbles as a fun way to reinforce what the main paragraphs are presenting.

Reading level is mid to late elementary school age. I see this book also being great for family read aloud time. Those who do not read can still have a great time with fantastic illustrations!
I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

This is a fascinating book about animal communication! Each page spread is dedicated to an animal and is fully illustrated with overlaying captions explaining how the species communicates. The book is organized by classification with a section on mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, plants and fungi. There are a variety of commonly known animals like gorillas, koalas, hippos, squirrels, as well as more obscure species like the African Demon Mole Rat, Peruvian Warbling Antbird, and Deathwatch Beetle.

I learned a lot. Particularly that bears scratch their backs on trees to leave their scent, rhinos mark their territory by scraping their poop around, mosquitos have to match the pitch of their buzzing to find a compatible mate, and the cordyceps fungus creates ant zombies to spread itself.

This book is great for any science nerd or animal lover!

This beautifully illustrated book was a delight to read.
It tells the readers facts about nature's ways of communicating. Not only was the language easy enough to understand but it also told the facts in an easy-to-digest way. This way of writing made it fun to read and learn!

I believe this book can be really nice to introduce yourself, whether you're a kid or not, to some basic knowledge about communication in nature.

The book is beautiful and very factual with different ways animals and plants communicate with each other. I liked that there was a variety of species chosen rather than just seeing common animals(Chimpanzee, rhino etc..) that are always used and most recognisable towards children. There are other not so known/ or at least not shown in books as often animals such as fruit bats, Cicada, Tarsier etc...

Can be enjoyed by adults when reading with a child rather than the usually trying to skim through. Once published I will be picking up a physical copy for my nephews to enjoy.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of the book for an honest review.

A magical collection of illustrated stories from the Nature’s Storybook series. These 48 stories explore how animals and plants communicate in very creative ways! Lovely to see such a wide range of examples from fish, insects to more well known mammals etc.

This book is a well-illustrated, informative work that using a numbering system to explain the ways that various animals and other living things communicate. There are 2 pages dedicated to each thing and they are giving information about how communication is used. The pages are descriptive and contain a large amount of information. They do contain a large amount of information and use some complex language, but overall a good read and great to the burgeoning animal lover in your life.

This is a very informative book on animals, insects and even plants. It is beautifully illustrated. There are a lot of similar non-fiction books in the market but this one stands out with the topic it focuses on and the array of creatures and plants that it covers.

This one was a bit wordier than I had anticipated for a read-aloud. But my animal lovers will devour it. I enjoyed the variety of species and the thoroughness of the writing. The illustrations were spot-on as well!

This was an absolutely delightful book filled with wonder and knowledge. The writing and quirky and fun and a quick read.

Wild Languages of of Mother Nature was a true joy to read. We learned so much information, though we'd previously studied many of its subjects. As a homeschool family, I adore books such as these with excellent illustrations and short, consice and rich text. This is a book to be read over and over, and that's what we'll do! Even focusing on one spread per week would give you nearly an entire year of engaging information!

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys understanding how communication works amongst various creatures, plants and organisms in nature.

I am eager to have a physical copy for our shelves!

Thank you so much to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC! All opinions are my own.

My kids saw this and really wanted to see if I could get it. The pictures and the different animal species is what drew them in. I agree the animals are detailed, vibrant, and yet mature for those older kids too. I love the range of different species and the cute dialog between the animals on the page it was quite comical. We learned quite a bit together which is always exciting. We never knew about Tarsier exciting, and they can match pitches with their prey of insects. Along with how the Koala is able to push air through flaps of skin to make sounds. Even learning about the Mantis Shrimp and how their eyes are each trinocular and able to focus on three things at once! Adding the different plants/environmental factors like sagebrush, and grass to see how they benefit the animals, how they heal themselves and their purpose was nice and kept the book interesting and engaging, not too much repetition. This book is beautiful designed and great for all types of learners. Not boring even for adults.
