Series Review: The World's Smartest Animals"This engaging series takes an unusual approach by selecting animal subjects based on their intelligence. . .the oversized books are visually appealing; with main ideas and vocabulary terms offset in bold, and boxed fact and trivia inserts.
Compelling, full-color captioned photos align closely with the text. The books will appeal to students across all elementary grades, browsers and researchers alike."

Book Review: Crows
"Wow! Totally fascinating. I will never look at a crow the same way again. What sets this book apart is the approach to teaching the reader about just how smart the animal is. Young readers will love seeing how these birds are able to do their own problem solving. I think it would be fun to do one of the experiments on the students that was done with the crow and see if a student could compare their experience and the crows'."
