How animals sense the world

Andy Hirsch’s graphic-novel guide explores how sensory signals help animals perceive and navigate their surroundings. Examples range from ants detecting smells with their antennae and fish tasting through their skin to snakes sensing heat. The book also looks at hearing in whales, touch in spiders, and how cats maintain their balance, connecting these animal senses to a broader understanding of perception. Its science-and-nature focus makes the senses the organizing thread for a tour across different kinds of animals.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers curious about animal biology and the senses
  • Fans of science comics and illustrated nonfiction
  • Families or educators seeking science-themed reading material
