Do Fire Ants Fight Fires? How Animals Work in the Wild

A playful exploration of how animals work to survive.

Do dolphins teach? Do birds build apartment buildings? Do tapirs deliver packages? You may be surprised at the answers! Animals have to work hard to survive in the wild.

From vultures that act as nature’s cleanup crew, to damselfish that help grow their favourite food, this book is full of interesting, surprising, and sometimes familiar ways that animals work and behave.

Written in an interactive question-and-answer format perfect for reading out loud, this follow-up to bestsellers Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate? and Do Lizards Eat Ice Cream? encourages inquiry and discussion. Silly scenarios and comic illustrations will invite readers to learn about animal adaptations and STEM in a fun and accessible way.
