Publisher's Notes
This whimsical and intriguing picture book explores the different roles of fatherhood in the animal kingdom. Readers will learn about various animal dads and their many different parenting skills: baby-sitting - an emperor penguin dad watches over the eggs for nine weeks while the mother searches for food; hunting - a wolf dad leads the pack on hunting trips and brings meat for new pups to eat; giving birth - a seahorse mother's eggs hatch inside the dad's special belly pouch. Sneed Collard's concise, clear text and award-winning artist Steve Jenkins's informative cut-paper collages reveal unique tasks that animal dads perform in raising their offspring.

How Animals Talk

Exploding Ants
by Joanne Settel
To protect its colony, there is a kind of ant that explodes and sprays out a chemical that kills an enemy. A butterfly larva resembles a bird dropping to protect itself from a predator, while a wasp lays its eggs in other larva to provide living food to its young hatchlings. Birds, with no hands for carrying, swallow food and regurgitate it to feed their hungry nestlings, and there is a small worm that lives in and feeds on the mucus in a dog's nose. This book is filled with fascinating stories of how creatures adapt to the natural world in order to feed themselves, care for their young, and find safety in their environment. Full-color photos.
