| The Secrets of Ears and Hearing |
|
| The lively, conversational tone and blend of photos and cartoon-style art make Now Hear This: The
Secrets of Ears and Hearing a perfect blend of fun facts and serious science learning about the human
ears as well as the hearing systems of other creatures. Here at last—a book that’s irreverent enough to
captivate young readers, yet authoritative enough to win the praise of teachers, librarians, and parents. |

Research Notes |
|
| “I’ve written about ears and hearing before, but this is the first time I’ve discussed the two different kinds of earwax or told readers how they can learn to wiggle your ears. The book also explains how scientists are using ear proteins to design better space suits and why human ears never stop growing. I knew these kinds of facts would really fascinate kids. Your eyes—and the eyes of other animals—are truly amazing.” |
