Orangutan hats and other tools animals use

"Move over, humans! We're not the only creatures who can invent and use tools to keep ourselves fed, warm, safe, healthy, comfortable-even entertained. Thanks to the careful observations of biologists working in the field, we now know that elephants use sunscreen, long-tailed macaques floss their teeth, assassin bugs use bait to lure their prey, orangutans make pillows, and crows will go sledding just for fun. Who's the clever one now, eh? Join writer Richard Haynes and illustrator Stephanie Laberis for a walk on the wild side and get ready to be astonished, delighted, and amused by this jam-packed exploration. Interested readers will find a map, an introduction, a glossary, an index, and a bibliography for further investigation"--.

Slingshot and Burp

2016
"Neighbors, double cousins, and best friends Slingshot and Burp are saddling up to battle the boredom of summer. Fitted out like Old West cowboys to charge boldly (and sometimes bravely) into the southwestern desert that is their backyard. In two rattles of a snake's tail, the boys are boots-deep in adventure, dodging sisters, jail time, coyotes, and squirting skulls!"--Dust jacket flap.
