From the series The World's Smartest Animals
Reading Level Grades 2-3Interest Level Grades K – 3Copyright 2021
ReviewedRats are cute critters and popular pets. They are also among the world’s smartest animals! Using engaging text and vibrant photos, this informative title explores what makes rats intelligent, from their excellent memories to their great social skills. Added features, including a brain comparison chart, a skills graphic, a profile, and a scientific study, offer even more information about brainiac rats!
'There are 6 titles in this level 3 series. Geared toward more fluent readers, there is plenty of information about some commonly known animals, but that readers may not know much about. Focusing on the animals’ intelligence, even readers who are familiar with these creatures will still learn something new about chimps, crows, dogs, rats, octopuses, and dolphins! A glossary is included in each that defines related vocabulary. The inclusion of both book and web resources is appreciated. Only one specific website is given, which ensures the source is reliable and safe for readers. In this age of information overload, this set is a great resource to get readers started on a research journey, without being overwhelming for children.', Nicole Welle, K-12 Teacher Librarian, Educator Review
