(4) K-3 Illustrated by Renné Benoit. "Now and then you'll see a few / animals who use tools, too." Alternating between arrhythmic rhymes about animals using tools and more valuable scientific explanations, this book is better read as two different narratives. The watercolor, colored-pencil, and gouache illustrations in muted earth tones feel rather lifeless. A lengthy author's lends additional context. Reading list, websites. Bib.
