I received book for review from Arbordale Publishing. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services. Your opinions and results may differ.
How do some young animals know what to do and how to do it? Does someone teach a caterpillar what to eat? Who gives a baby shark swimming lessons? Sometimes young animals learn things from their parents, but other times… they just know! Explore animal instincts through engaging text and fanciful illustrations.
My Review:
Isn't it amazing how some critters and creatures do things by instinct? For instance, a horn shark knows to stay in the shallow end until it can swim. It wasn't taught that behavior; Rather, it already instinctively knows. They Just Know: Animal Instincts tells of some animal and insect behavior that is done based on instinct. The illustrations are done in an adorable tongue in cheek fashion.
The "For Creative Minds" section in the back of the book has a couple of lessons on Instinct versus Learned Behaviors. It also has a matching exercise for children to match up young animals with their parents. Also included is a study on metamorphosis.
They Just Know: Animal Instincts is a Fall 2015 book release by Arbordale Publishing.
One person will win a book copy of They Just Know: Animal Instincts.

There's several roadrunners in our neighborhood. They're something to see. Their "hair" and tails have this really graceful-looking, synchronized way of moving.
I find penguins very interesting. I just find it fascinating that they can find their chick among all the others.

I've always been interested in fireflies because they look so unassuming in daylight but so spectacular lighting up in the dark.

Ive always been fascinated with fireflies and my son is as well.
The Butterfly is really interesting and cool how they turn from a catapillar into a butterfly.
I'm a bit too into butterflies. I grow host plants for them! Recently, I came across an orchid mantis online and it is so beautiful! I highly recommend googling them if you've never seen one!
We have praying mantis families in our shrubs every spring and summer. They are so cool and creepy at the same time.
I'm intrigued by marine life, dolphins and whales in particular. The way that they communicate is very interesting
