Upbeat, if somewhat corny, rhymes help  introduce ways in which 11 wild animals utilize tools. Subjects include a  crow that bends a piece of wire to reach an object, otters that use  rocks to smash open shellfish, and dolphins that use sea sponges to  catch fish: "Dolphins choose a cone-shaped sponge,/ wrap their beaks,  then fish and lunge." Longer prose passages elaborate on each animal's  activity: "Elephants strip leaves from branches," writes Jackson. "They  use the stripped branches to swat flies or other insects that bite  them." Benoit's mixed-media illustrations fall between naturalistic and  cozy, creating an accessible entry point to learning about animal  behavior. An author's note provides additional background on animals'  tool use and the habitats of the featured animals.-Publishers WeeklyWoodpecker finches, chimpanzees, otters,  deer, and octopuses are just some of the animals whose use of tools is  explored in this attractive, informational picture book. Rhyming  couplets paired with explanatory paragraphs in succinct, descriptive  prose explain how various species use objects to accomplish specific  goals. A helpful introduction explains what a tool is, defining it  fairly broadly ("Many scientists who study animal tool use define a tool  as an object that an animal uses to accomplish a goal"): the book uses  some clear examples (a chimp using sticks and straws to obtain termites,  otters using rocks to crack shells) as well as less obvious ones  (squirrels kicking rocks and sand at a snake, male red deer covering  their antlers with mud or grass to attract mates). Soft watercolor,  pencil, and gouache illustrations depict the animals realistically. This  book allows for a rich, up-close look at a fascinating aspect of animal  behavior, and while the use of tools is the primary focus, the pictures  will also enhance discussions around animal habitats as well. The  rhyming portions make this title ideal for reading aloud with younger  children, while the more in-depth explanations allow for engaging  independent reading by older kids. An author's note goes into further  detail about tools, and the bibliography and additional resources  showcase some solid books and websites for kids. Useful for  instructional purposes and accessible enough for students to read on  their own.-School Library JournalSure, people use tools, but animals? On each double-page spread of this attractive picture book, Jackson introduces a species that will surprise readers with its inventiveness and adaptability. Short, rhyming verse introduces the ideas, while a large-scale picture illustrates them, and a few sentences explain what the animal is doing and why. For example, the rhyme "Otters on an ocean swell / use a rock to crack a shell" accompanies images of otters swimming, picking up a rock, and dining on the mullusk inside, while the short prose text comments on what's happening. Also featured are a woodpecker finch, chimpanzee, crow, deer, and elephant, among others. An author's note discusses scientists' ongoing discussion of animal tool use. Benoit's appealing artwork, created with watercolor, colored pencil, and gouache, illustrates the animals' unusual behaviors with warmth, color, and attention to detail. An intriguing idea presented in an accessible way.-Booklist
