Do Lizards Eat Ice Cream? How Animals Beat the Heat

A fun and factual exploration of how animals stay cool in hot weather

From lizards that dance to keep their feet cool, to elephants that use their ears like fans, this funny and informative book reveals how animals adapt to survive warm weather.
Written in question-and-answer format featuring playful imagery and now available in paperback, this summery companion to Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate? encourages discussion and laughter.
