Description

Birdbrained. Pigheaded. Batty. Bullheaded. When humans want to insult the intelligence of another person, they often compare them to an animal. But animals are smart. Really, really smart.

There are animals that use tools. Others that can solve complex problems. Some have excellent memories. A few can even talk to us! With animals having such mighty minds, the question is: who has the best brainpower of them all? That's for you to decide!

Full of fascinating facts throughout in a fun "battle of the minds" format, Battle of the Brains includes a glossary and links to sources and activities at the end, making it the perfect read for any curious mind.
