Amazing Animals - Animal Senses [VHS]

Description

.com Paws, noses, eyes, ears, and tongues come in all shapes and sizes in the animal kingdom. This half-hour Dorling Kindersley film combines wildlife footage, colorful computer animation, and cartoons to explore the curious world of Animal Senses. Like the many other films in DK's Amazing Animals series, this tour is hosted by a slapstick, animated lizard named Henry and narrated by a well-informed human voice. Together they discuss the sensory abilities of a solid variety of animals, fish, and insects. The examples range from simple information about keen vision and hearing to an eel's use of electricity and a moth's use of its antennae for smell. Nicely paced for preschoolers, kindergartners, and first-graders; older viewers will prefer DK's more stimulating Eyewitness video series. --Liane Thomas
