Review by Dr. Paul V. Switzer, Eastern Illinois University: Slap, Squeak, and Scatter teaches readers about the many methods and functions of animal communication. Topics include communication for raising alarm, agonistic behavior and territoriality, mating behavior, group cohesion, and foraging, and cover over 20 different species of animals, from insects to mammals. By far the most striking features of Jenkins' book are the illustrations: unique illustrations of animals that were originally done as paper collages. These illustrations give the book a tremendous amount of visual interest. The clearly-written descriptions of the behaviors, although not as engaging as in some children's books, provide information on how the animals communicate and what information the animal signals may contain. Children liked the images; some of the older ones (4th-5th grade) stated that they would have liked to have more information in the descriptions. But these descriptions, in combination with the striking artwork (which our adult readers especially liked), should stimulate children's curiosity about animals and their behavior.
