El sentido del oído es muy importante para la supervivencia de los animales. Provee información vital a los animales que los ayuda a encontrar comida o a escuchar a los depredadores que están listos para atacar. Esta continuación del libro premiado de Mary Holland, de la serie Anatomía de los animales y sus adaptaciones, presenta una amplia variedad de orejas de animales y cómo estos las utilizan. ¿Sabías tú que algunos animales tienen los oídos en las patas? Al igual que los ojos, bocas, patas y colas presentados en libros previos, las orejas de los animales tienen una amplia variedad de formas y tamaños, la combinación perfecta para las necesidades de cada animal.
Este texto breve y sencillo es la historia perfecta para antes de la siesta o antes de irse a dormir. Los animales nocturnos y sus comportamientos son presentados a los jóvenes lectores. Lectores mayores aprenden más acerca de cada animal a través de la información en las columnas laterales.
Utilizando una gran variedad de increíbles fotografías, el autor Kevin Kurtz hace preguntas muy bien pensadas, incitando a los lectores a determinar si las cosas son seres vivos o no vivos. Por ejemplo, si la mayoría (pero no todos) de los seres vivos se pueden mover, ¿se pueden mover los seres que no son vivos? Como parte de la serie de libros de Comparación y Contraste, éste es una manera única de determinar si algo es un ser vivo o no vivo.
Los lectores quedarán fascinados al conocer tantas formas en que los animales utilizan sus colas: para moverse en la tierra, para nadar, para alertar a otros, para guiarse, para agarrarse de otras cosas, para mantenerse calientes, para equilibrarse, para volar, atraer a su compañero, ¡e incluso para defenderse! Aparentemente, la cola no sólo sirve para menearla cuando están felices. Le siguen los libros Los ojos de los animales, Bocas de los animales (NSTA/CBC Outstanding Trade Science Award), y Patas de los animales, Mary Holland continúa con sus series fotográficas Animal Anatomy and Adaptations por medio de la exploración de tantas formas en que los animales utilizan sus colas.
