Did you know that a sailfish's tail helps it zoom through water...faster than most cars on a highway? Or that cows and horses swish theirs to flick away pesky bugs? Tails can really be terrific -- animals use them to swim, fly, attract a mate, and even communicate! In this tale of tails, five- to seven-year-olds will find out how creatures ranging from salmon to turkeys depend on them for their survival, and how we humans once had them too. Every kid will love the full-color photos of animals in all sizes and shapes.
