Reader Description

What do the bright colours on a wasp tell you? They mean, Stay away, I'm dangerous! Animals can give each other, and us, messages using smell, colour, light, chemicals, and even dance!

After you have completed the Reader

Animals communicate in many ways. On a piece of paper, write the headings, Animals and People. Under each heading, write the different ways that animals and people communicate the same messages. Use the book to help you. Perform some of the sounds or actions to your family. Do they know what your animal is saying?
