A colourful and gentle introduction to animals that use tools, for young children.

Some animals use sticks, others use stones – and some can even sew! From the bird that can use drumsticks to the sea otters that can break open shells, discover all the clever ways animals use tools. Written by the award-winning author Martin Jenkins and illustrated by Jane McGuinness, this beautiful picture book is a perfect introduction to how and why some animals use tools.

A conservation biologist who has worked for WWF, the UN, and as an award-winning author of wildlife books for children. Jane was born in Glasgow; a big city, but a green one. She always liked the idea of being an author, but didn't realize for a long time that you were allowed to both write the words and draw the pictures if you wanted to! A BA in Illustration at the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone helped Jane learn how richly drawings could tell stories – it was there where she rediscovered picture books, and there that she realized that she loves words as much as she loves pictures.
