The introduction to this fascinating celebration of animal senses opens with a scenario: a school gym filled with an elephant, mouse, robin, owl, rattlesnake, spider, and mosquito, and the question of how they perceive each other. Readers might have guesses as to how the animals smell, taste, hear, see, and feel; but those are not the only senses at work. Each of these creatures utilizes sensory tools beyond those of humans, such as tiny vibrations on the spider’s web, or the Earth’s magnetic field directing the robin to a south-facing window. Brisk, tidy chapters with generous color illustrations highlight familiar and novel senses. In a chapter about color perception, for example, readers learn that pollinators see ultraviolet (UV) light, making their perception of flowers radically different from humans’. In contrast, rodents might only have black-and-white vision, but they only need to see the outline of predators. Sidebars detail various concepts, such as how some humans, like artist Claude Monet, develop UV vision. Field notes capture Yong’s travel and interactions with different animals around the world, such as the time he put his hand in an aquarium with a mantis shrimp to experience its powerful punch. Implicit throughout the text is the message that there are many ways to sense and experience the world, including by members of our own species.
