About this audiobook
What Animals Do When Danger Comes is a collection of five short stories for curious kids who wonder why animals do the strange things they do. Why do squirrels freeze when you look at them? Why do ducks stand on one leg? Why do fireflies flash? Each story follows a small animal discovering its own "superpower." These powers include camouflage, thermoregulation, bioluminescence, pheromone trails, and the hidden colors of autumn leaves. No lectures. Just adventure, mystery, and the pleasure of figuring things out. The book ends with nine hands-on activities that get kids outside with a magnifying glass, a nature diary, a collection box, and their own two eyes. Press leaves. Watch ant trails. Count firefly flashes. Draw what you see. Written for children ages five to ten, but perfect for any young naturalist ready to discover that the backyard is full of secrets.
Science is just noticing things really, really carefully.
