Charming.
Bridget Thoreson,
Booklist
Fascinating.

The science illuminates the complex processes through which creatures make sense of their surroundings, and the delivery benefits greatly from the author’s stylish, evocative prose.

Kirkus
Ward also notes how scientists have no doubt that other senses exist.
