Description

The true story of the incredible horse whose smarts stumped all of Berlin and changed science, brought to life by NYT #1 bestselling illustrator, Mike Lowery.

Clever Hans was a horse who could do math problems, tell time, read, spell, and more...or could he?

Even after seeing Hans answer questions correctly, some people thought it must be a hoax. Scientists began to investigate. Eventually, one scientist had a groundbreaking "aha!" moment and realised Hans was clever in a way no one had even imagined.

Turns out Hans was so smart, he changed science!
