Description
Did you know that a sailfish's tail helps it zoom through water faster than most cars on a highway? Or that cows and horses swish their tails to flick away pesky bugs? Tails can really be terrific--animals use them to swim, fly, attract a mate, and even communicate! In this tale of tails, five to seven year olds will find out how creatures ranging from salmon to turkeys depend on their tales for survival, and how we humans once had them too. Every kid will love the full-color photos of animals in all sizes and shapes. The author lives in Victoria, British Columbia. 32 pages (all in color), 8 x 10. NEW IN PAPERBACK
