Early Experiences Does A Seal Smile Pb

"Silly" questions tickle children's funny bones while their answers educate. This latest addition to the Early Experiences series takes a look at how animals and people communicate differently using everything from tail wags to body language to facial expressions. A perfect introduction to the idea of nonverbal communication in both the human and the animal worlds. Written by Dr. Fred Ehrlich, a pediatrician and child psychiatrist, the fact-filled, question-and-answer Early Experiences books engage young children with humor right at their level. Editorial Reviews From Booklist PreS-Gr. 2. How animal and human creatures greet each other is the subject of the latest easy reader in the Early Experiences series. Although this uses the same question-answer format as Does a Baboon Sleep in a Bed? (2006), the language is more complicated this time ("Coyotes use facial expressions to communicate"). The meaning is, however, still clear, thanks to the colorful pictures, sharply outlined in ink.^B After a double-page spread about chimpanzees and their gestures, the book moves to humans and their greetings--babies learning to smile, kids slapping a high five, and adults greeting one another in cultures across the world, from France to Japan to Saudi Arabia. The elemental animal-human connection is fun, and so are the examples of communication Ehrlich has assembled. Hazel Rochman Copyright å© American Library Association.
