Can a seal smile?

"Silly" questions tickle children's funny bones while their answers educate.

This latest addition to the Early Experiences series takes a look at how animals and people communicate differently using everything from tail wags to body language to facial expressions.

A perfect introduction to the idea of nonverbal communication in both the human and the animal worlds. Written by Dr. Fred Ehrlich, a pediatrician and child psychiatrist, the fact-filled, question-and-answer Early Experiences books engage young children with humor right at their level.
