A tour of the senses across species

Ants detecting scents with their antennae, fish tasting through their skin, and snakes sensing heat introduce a wider exploration of how animals gather information about the world. Andy Hirsch’s graphic-novel science book connects examples from whales, spiders, cats, and other creatures with questions about human perception. Its subject is the biology of sensory signals and the varied ways living things experience their surroundings, presented through the Science Comics series’ comics format.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids curious about animals and the senses
  • Young readers interested in science presented as a graphic novel
  • Families or educators seeking a science-themed book for independent or classroom reading
