Taste with your Feet is a fascinating insight into the ways that animals use sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and other sensory abilities to make sense of the world. One of the most interesting aspects of the animal kingdom is the way that animals have developed an incredible array of senses to live day-to-day in the world. Butterflies taste with their feet, a bumblebee can see a flower’s ultraviolet colours, a shark can sense its prey’s electric pulses, a bat can use echolocation to fly through a forest at night without hitting anything, a godwit can use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate from Alaska to New Zealand. Tasting with your Feet explores the myriad, and often bizarre ways that animals use sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and the ability to sense movement, to make their way in the world. With clear descriptions and wonderfully illustrative artwork, Ned Barraud opens up this world to children in a highly original way. Any child interested in the animals around them will be intrigued by this beautiful book.
