(2) PS Illustrated by Daniel Kirk. This introduction to animal communication radiates warmth and affection. The questions and answers about each animal have the right tone and timing--"Do zebras who meet on the plain say hello? Oh, yes"--inviting participation. The wild animals in the oil portraits are slightly more rounded and human in expression than in real life, making the final picture of a boy and mom among the animal pairs seem perfectly natural.
