But when it comes to a sense of smell, that vital sense can mean the difference between life and death, food or starvation so in "Nose Knows" by Emmanuelle Figueras and Claire De Gastold, prepare yourself to sniff out a ton of amazing facts about animal schnozzes!
In this fun flap-filled book, you'll learn how smell plays a key role in the lives of animals and shapes their behaviour and relationships.
Each flap reveals the hidden side to each environment only perceptible through smell.
Watch a polar bear track its prey beneath the ice, join a column of marching ants, and learn how to say hello to a family of forest piglets.
Anything is possible when you follow your nose!
We really love the amount of effort that goes into the books that WhatOnEarth have been publishing of late, fast becoming a go-to for brilliant non-fiction titles based around science and nature. This is no exception, with superbly written facts produced in a way that doesn't patrnonise curious kids, and filled with gorgeous illustrations of all the animals and the places they live.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A brilliant non-fiction title that's right on the nose!
