In Beastly Brains, Nancy Castaldo delves into the minds of animals and explores animal empathy, communication, tool use, and social societies through interviews and historical anecdotes. Researchers from Charles Darwin to Jane Goodall have spent years analyzing the minds of animals, and today's science is revolutionizing old theories and uncovering surprising similarities to our own minds. Humans are not alone in our ability to think about ourselves, make plans, help each other, or even participate in deception. You'll think differently about the animals on this planet-maybe it's their world and we're just living in it!

      In this fascinating nonfiction audiobook, Castaldo discusses an array of scientific research on animal cognition in a language accessible to young people. The production opens with a spritely melody and an introduction that explains how brain size in relation to body size may impact intelligence. Charon Normand-Widmer narrates at a pace that is easy to follow. Her delivery is straightforward, and she lets the facts carry their own weight. A tone sounds, alerting the listener to facts or anecdotes, making it easier for to tune into the conclusions reached in the studies. Useful suggestions and resources are also provided for students interested in trying their own research. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
