Summary "Animals work hard to survive in the wild! Does that mean fire ants put out fires? NO! But they do protect themselves from predators using fiery, stinging venom. Do damsel fish grow their own food? YES! Much like farmers tend to their crops, damsel fish help grow their favorite food (red algae) by weeding other algae out of their coral reef "farms." And do tapirs deliver packages? SORT OF! As they travel throughout the rainforest, tapirs drop their packages of seed-filled poop, that then grows into more trees. DO FIRE ANTS FIGHT FIRES? presents silly scenarios for 13 different animals at work - from mustachioed puffer fish artists at their easel to harried wolf spiders driving a school bus - that will have kids first laughing and then thinking. On the facing page of each spread, a more accurate rendering of the animal is accompanied by clear and concise text that explains the amazing ways animals work to survive - ways that are sometimes quite familiar! Etta Kaner's lively and inviting text is illustrated by delightfully funny and expressive digital art by Jenna Piechota."-- Provided by publisher.
