About these stories
Not superheroes — real animals, and the astonishing things their bodies can do. A cat's whiskers measure a gap in the dark. An octopus has a brain in every arm. Crows make tools. Wolves hunt as a team, chimpanzees solve problems, and the platypus is so strange that the first scientists to see one thought it was a hoax.
Sleepy Animals, about hibernation, is a favourite last story of the night — it is about animals settling down to sleep for months. Most of the shelf is written for four- and five-year-olds; Crows and Tools is for older listeners.
