Amazon), what would they say? Find out in this hilarious collection of
imagined digital encounters, based on real animal intel and facts.

Get in on the conversation! In Critter Chat, every habitat has a group
chat. In the African savanna, a lion (screenname: Just_Lion_Around)
declares his territory with a text-based ROAR! Meanwhile, zebra and
cheetah send eyeroll emojis. In the North American suburbs, a carpet
beetle texts the family dog, reassuring him that his humans will
return--eventually.
Among surprising, laugh-out-loud conversations like these, you'll find
tons of parody social media posts from all your favorites in the animal
kingdom, including Instagram-style inspirational posts and silly Yelp
reviews. An adorable dumbo octopus posts a selfie (#FeelingCute). And a
frustrated narwhal reviews an extra-long toothbrush. (It's still too
short--of course!)
Inside, there are also plenty of fascinating nonfiction features that
give readers the scoop on actual animal communication (Did you know that
white rhinos communicate with poop? It's true!), and real-life animal
influencers who are making waves online and in our hearts. In a
conveniently portable size, this handy little treasure can be carried
anywhere, for a good laugh anytime!
