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.
