Many animals are considered smart, but each has an intelligence that may not be the same as what people consider "brains". This book makes a list of the fifteen smartest animals and outlines why each has been selected. The book is great for teaching in a number of ways, it shows that intelligence often is determined by the requirements of the species, and some excel above others at solving their problems.  Mammals, birds and sea creatures all find a place in the list.  Some may argue the placement, but the book makes a great case for each. A useful learning book for children and a great conversation started between parents and kids.
