"Appealing, accessible, and accurate, this is another admirable
creation." —Kirkus Crack the code of the incredible egg in this
beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book by Caledcott
Honor-winning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page. Hatching a plan
for survival isn’t always easy in the wild. And how animals lay,
protect, and even use each other's eggs as a food source help
reveal the life cycle of the natural world. Eggs come in all shapes
and sizes. The ostrich’s is the largest, but some are so small,
you need a microscope to spot them. Animals hide them and disguise
them in smart and surprising ways, too. Some abandon their eggs,
while others protect them fiercely and carry them wherever they go.
There are as many kinds of eggs as there are animals that depend on
them, because in the animal kingdom, the fight for survival begins
with the simple, but extraordinary, egg.

Did you know animals can use tools? In this fascinating book by
award-winning pair Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, we learn all about
what makes a tool a tool and the remarkable ways animals can use
them to find food, protect their young, and more. Until 1960, when
Jane Goodall observed a chimpanzee using a blade of grass to "fish"
for termites, it was believed that humans were the only animal to
use tools. Since her discovery, we've learned that many creatures
use sticks, leaves, rocks, and other natural items as tools. In
this latest nonfiction picture book from Caldecott Honor-winning
team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page, readers learn all about what
makes a tool a tool--and the remarkable ways animals that use them
to interact with our world. From the tailorbird, which repurposes
spider silk to stitch a leaf into its nest, to the gorilla, which
uses sticks to test water depth and build bridges, these animals
are intelligent, innovative, and creative. Using his signature cut
paper illustrations, Steve Jenkins offers readers a closer look at
these animals, their habitats, and their behaviors. In turns
jaw-dropping, funny, and inspiring, The Animal Toolkit will
fascinate animal enthusiasts and aspiring inventors everywhere.
