Summary

Did you know that bats compose their own songs? That mice giggle when tickled? Or that lizards do push-ups to seduce a mate, that elephants ‘hear’ through their feet, or that rats laugh? Drawing upon the latest scientific research, we see how animals build, create, and entertain themselves and others; how animal ‘friends’ keep in touch; and how some animals problem-solve more effectively than humans. The result is a thrilling scientific exploration that unlocks the secret lives of the animal world.

A enjoyable read even without singing or giggling.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I probably would if they're interested in science and nature.

What did you like best about this story?

The topics discussed.

What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I don't know.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I don't know and am not sure it'd make good film material.

Any additional comments?

I found this book very interesting and will read again in the future.
