Did you know animals can use tools? In this fascinating book by award-winning pair Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, we learn all about what makes a tool a tool and the remarkable ways animals can use them to find food, protect their young, and more.
Until 1960, when Jane Goodall observed a chimpanzee using a blade of grass to fish for termites, it was believed that humans were the only animal to use tools. Since her discovery, weve learned that many creatures use sticks, leaves, rocks, and other natural items as tools.
In this latest nonfiction picture book from Caldecott Honorwinning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, readers learn all about what makes a tool a tooland the remarkable ways animals that use them to interact with our world. From the tailorbird, which repurposes spider silk to stitch a leaf into its nest, to the gorilla, which uses sticks to test water depth and build bridges, these animals are intelligent, innovative, and creative.
Using his signature cut paper illustrations, Steve Jenkins offers readers a closer look at these animals, their habitats, and their behaviors. In turns jaw-dropping, funny, and inspiring, The Animal Toolkit will fascinate animal enthusiasts and aspiring inventors everywhere.
