Howl like a Wolf! Build a bower like a bowerbird, balance an egg like an emperor penguin, stalk like a camouflaged leopard, and do a waggle dance like a honey bee! In this beautifully illustrated nature activity book, kids ages 6 to 9 are invited to join the animal world with creative play that mimics the key behaviors and habits of 16 fascinating animals. From birds to dogs to horses, kids love to watch, imitate, and learn about animals. They also love pretending to be animals. But there's a lot more to being a frog than just leaping and croaking. This book combines natural history with creative play activities to encourage children to think like an animal. The book describes the fascinating behaviours of 16 animals: gray wolf, honey bee, penguin, leopard, frog, skunk, bowerbird, octopus, elephant, rattlesnake, bat, raven, beaver, humpback whale, and deer. For each animal, children learn key facts about the animal's behaviour: What do you like to eat? Where do you live? Who else lives with you? How do you interact with other animals? Creative prompts teach how to mimic the more subtle aspects of behaviours that are central to the animal's life and survival. AGES: 6 to 9
