What if animals had the internet? Find out in this hilarious Critter Chat spin-off with animal group chats, social media parodies, dance trends—and MORE.

Critter chat is BACK with all-new imagined digital animal encounters—and it's all based on 100% true animal info.

Inside you'll find a group chat for bears that is oddly lacking in real bear members. (No, the koala bear does NOT count.) Meanwhile, a group of stinky animals commiserates about how no one appreciates their unique fragrance, and a rooster greets the day with exuberant ALL CAPS.

Among these silly conversations, you'll find tons of parody social media posts from all your favorite animals—and some you probably haven't heard of—including Instagram-style selfies (#WildStyle), meal reviews on animal Yelp, and profiles of critters looking for love on BeeHarmony. Plus, sprinkled throughout are fascinating nonfiction features that give you the scoop on the absolutely real ways that animals communicate, as well as bios of real-life animal influencers making a name for themselves online today.

This pun-packed nugget of fun will have readers learning all about the animal kingdom—without even realizing it.

It's the perfect book for internet-savvy animal lovers, reluctant readers, and comedians young and old.

For more fun and fact-filled animal books from National Geographic Kids, don’t miss out on Critter Chat; Weird But True! Animals; Just Joking: Funny Animals; and Nerdlet: Animals!
JASON VIOLA grew up in a small farm town in Massachusetts, where he spent idle hours drawing comic strips about birds and cats. While his father's affinity for woodworking and storytelling encouraged his creativity, his mother managed a menagerie of pets, spurring an interest in animals that continues today. Continuing to find inspiration from biology and through the lens of pop culture, he has written about manatees, amoebas, and flowers with a modern, satiric twist. View titles by Jason Viola
