Description
It’s time to walk on the wild side and talk with the animals. This book will teach you not just how to chat chicken but also gossip with gorillas, mumble with meerkats, and warble with whales. You’ll be ready for any adventure into the animal kingdom.
It’s a noisy world out there. Almost eight billion people are saying hello, asking for directions, buying food, singing lullabies, paying compliments, and all in their own languages--of which there are six or seven thousand! And that’s just humans… animals have millions of languages!
Insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians are all talking to each other too, with grunts, squeaks, and tweets, as part of the natural orchestra that is Life on Earth. Some of those noises can sound scary, others sweet… wouldn’t it be nice to be able to understand what they were all trying to say?
Author Dr Nick Crumpton acts as our translator and guide through the animal kingdom in this fun, and funny, book. He teaches us what our pet dog’s bark means and how an orangutan says “Hello!” (Whuuu-whuuu-whuuu just in case you ever need it!). Each sound has been researched using recordings and information from scientists in the field. This book will teach you not just how to chat chicken but also gossip with gorillas, mumble with meerkats, and warble with whales. You’ll be ready for any adventure into the animal kingdom.

Laura T, Reviewer
This is both misleading, but also true book about how to understand what animals are saying. But, of course, if you spend any time with your pets, you dang well know what they are saying. I know that I know all the things the chickens say and what it means. And this is quite close to how they sounds.
And I would be surprised if no one knows what cats’ hissing means.
Still, I didn't know about how hippos spoke, or goats, as far as that goes.
So, not so much misleading, but disappointing that animals aren’t saying more. Some animals, in the book, only say “hey, I think I love you.”
Cute book, however, to show the “humanity” of animals, and their communications. Also fun, I suppose if you go to the zoo, to tell others what the animals are chattering about.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for making this book available for an honest review. This book comes out the 3rd of October 2023
