The following description comes from the event organizer.

In her uproariously funny and charming new book for middle grade readers, How Do Meerkats Order Pizza?: Wild Facts about Animals and the Scientists Who Study Them (Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers), Brooke Barker introduces readers to incredible animals and the bizarre things human scientists do to understand them. Did you know that crows never forget a face? Or that jaguars have a favorite cologne? Have you ever wondered how to pet a yeti crab? Or whether dogs can tell if you’re smiling? And just what is a burrowing bettong? Meet these weird, wonderful animals and the equally weird and wonderful scientists who study them. From crafting fake poop to slurping up bugs with a straw, there’s nothing these amazing humans won’t do to help us learn more about the animals around us. Packed with fascinating facts, the hilarious new book from the creator of Sad Animal Facts reveals secrets like why roosters crow and how meerkats make decisions as a group and how humans can better understand the wild creatures we share the planet with.
