"Readers will devour this dynamic and informative explanation of the inventiveness to be found within the animal world." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Move over, humans! We're not the only creatures who can invent and use tools to keep ourselves fed, warm, safe, healthy, comfortable--even entertained. Thanks to the careful observations of biologists working in the field, we now know that elephants use sunscreen, long-tailed macaques floss their teeth, assassin bugs use bait to lure their prey, orangutans make pillows, and crows will go sledding just for fun. Who's the clever one now, eh? Join writer Richard Haynes and illustrator Stephanie Laberis for a walk on the wild side and get ready to be astonished, delighted, and amused by this jam-packed exploration. Interested readers will find a map, an introduction, a glossary, an index, and a bibliography for further investigation.

Richard Haynes (1952-2024) grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, one of nine children. Every day of his boyhood was filled with adventure, much of it in the great outdoors. He was the author of Elephant Bowling and Other Animal Play and its companion book, Orangutan Hats and Other Tools Animals Use, both illustrated by Stephanie Laberis. In a starred review of Orangutan Hats, Kirkus Reviews predicted that readers would "devour this dynamic and informative explanation of the inventiveness to be found within the animal world." Richard Haynes was also the author of the early chapter book Slingshot and Burp, illustrated by Stephen Gilpin, which Publishers Weekly described as "a boisterous tale that speaks to long summer days of (mostly) unfettered freedom."

Stephanie Laberis is a character designer and illustrator who specializes in creating art for animation and children's publications. She is the illustrator of Prudence the Part-Time Cow by Jody Jensen Shaffer as well as the Grumpy Cat books and many other Little Golden Books. Stephanie Laberis lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
