Humans aren't the only ones that use tools

Simple, rhyming text introduces eleven animals around the world and the surprising tools they use, including an octopus that hides in a coconut, a dolphin that protects its nose with a sponge, and a deer that bedecks its antlers with heaping piles of mud and grass. Secondary text offers further information about these crafty creatures. Back matter includes an author note on tools and the science of animal behavior, information on the habitats of each species, and further reading for kids and adults. Perfect for budding zoologists.
