THE CREATIVE LIVES OF ANIMALS

If you think humans have a monopoly on creativity, this compelling audiobook will make you think again. Sheri Saginor narrates with clarity and intonations befitting the amazing animal behaviors she describes. Saginor also conveys the significance of perceiving and understanding animals' creative expressions--such as how a beaver or octopus's tool use and construction of their homes reveal future-oriented cognition. This awareness could impact how we perceive the animals themselves and change our views about conservation and our place in the animal world. Birds and beavers and octopi--oh my! This thought-provoking look at animals' enormous creativity and its impact on our evolution is a treat for nature lovers. M.F. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2023]
