Bubble Homes and Fish Farts
Bubbles are for popping, fishing, talking-and for sailing, keeping warm, and even shooting hoops! Who knew animals used bubbles in so many ways? Learn how the water spider builds an underwater bubble home, how snapping shrimp pop bubbles to scare other animals, and how dolphins play with bubbles as if it's a game. Whether they are riding, breathing, or making bubbles, one thing is for sure-animals use bubbles in amazing ways.
Real-world science meets tongue-in-cheek humor to describe how animals use bubbles. Includes back matter and a glossary and index.
Reviews
“A refreshingly unique perspective on a simple theme.” — CM: Canadian Review of Materials, June 12, 2009

“Fast Repetitive Tick (FaRT) is the term scientists use to describe the flatulencelike noise that herring make as they communicate their locations to one another other. That might be the most amusing description of the uses of bubbles in the natural world, but this entire book is enjoyable and engaging.” — School Library Journal, March 1, 2009 |
