Luitingh-sijthoff smarter than you think

Product details Smarter than you think Lotte Stegeman and Mark Janssen (ill.), known for I feel I feel what you don't see, delve into the minds of animals again in Smarter than you think. This time it is not about emotions in animals, but about how smart they are. Because animals can do fantastic things. Humans are smart creatures. If we want, we can accomplish just about anything together. We consider someone handsome if they know a lot, get grades on tests and can think ten steps ahead. The fact that other animal species cannot do all these things does not mean that they are not smart. Because a praying mantis, flatworm, cuckoo bumblebee and octopus are genius in completely different ways. A stoat better excel at dancing, build a colony of leafcutter ants in fungus gardens, and put on fireflies in a light show. Beautiful, sparkling and sometimes unbelievable stories feature a whole host of animal luminaries and show that you can be smart in different ways. 'You hang on Lotte Stegeman's every word as if in a perfectly constructed documentary. And the illustrations by Mark Janssen - phenomenal.'
