How Animals Feel Joanne Mattern

The sense of touch brings the world closer to us, and the same is true for the animals on Earth. This book explains how animals explore their world through the sense of touch, with skin, fur, biological systems, and more. A variety of animals are profiled, including butterflies, cats, monkeys, dogs, earthworms, and even humans, with specific examples of how feeling helps mammals, insects, and people find food, navigate the world, and stay safe from predators. Photographs, diagrams, and maps add to the information and make this book appealing to young readers.
