Line up for this fascinating exploration of animal behavior from an
award-winning author-illustrator!
Much like humans, many animals line up for a variety of reasons. Rather
than forming lines for the school bus or recess, the animals featured in
Susan Stockdale's book form lines for
-
safety: baby Mallard ducklings follow their mother to the water for
their first swim
-
warmth: turtles climb into a stacked line for a better share of the
sun's rays
-
navigation: Arctic wolves follow the prints in the snow left by the
pack leader
-
food: ants line up to follow the scent of their leader to food and
safety
-
travel: pink flamingos form a line to reduce wind resistance and fly
more efficiently
Featuring birds, crustaceans, fish, insects, mammals, and reptiles from
around the world, Line Up is a cozy and comforting book that reminds
us of our similarities while illuminating some specific, distinctive
behaviors.
