Do animals use tools? Well yes, as it turns out. Some sea otters break open shells, there’s a bird that can use drumsticks, some animals even sew. Conservation biologist Martin Jenkins explains in this colourful, gentle introduction for young children. Like the previous books in this delightful series, Find Out About Animal Tools: the Cleverest Tricks of the Animal World is beautifully illustrated by Jane McGuinness.
Out at the same time as Animal Tools is Find Out About Animal Camouflage. These latest books in the Find Out About series follow Find Out About Animal Homes and Find Out About Animal Babies – all published by Walker.
The books in this series are non-fiction storybooks. And the combination of facts and a story make them ideal picture book for schools, libraries and bedtime stories. Because even children who don’t naturally gravitate towards non-fiction will be swept along by the narrative.
Jane McGuinness – represented byThe Catchpole Agency – is always in her element when it comes to illustrations of wildlife. Anyone who met her irresistible hoglets in Say Hi to Hedgehogs will find a great deal to enjoy here.
