The Smarter Than Jack series was created by Jenny Campbell as a way to entertain with reader-written books that actively contribute to animal welfare. Designed as both a gift book and a permanent addition to any animal library, Animals Are Smarter Than Jack contains 91 sometimes comical, sometimes serious, always compelling stories of animal-human encounters. These amazing creatures include a dog who gave her pup mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, an unflappable budgie who "manned" the reception desk at a rowdy pub, and a cow who knew just what to do for a bereaved mate. The stories showcase a wide variety of furry and feathered friends and the clever ways they trick and outsmart their masters and mistresses, teach lessons, help other animals and people, and even prevent disaster. Readers around the world, including Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S., contributed these captivating accounts.

This delightful addition to the Smarter Than Jack series features a collection of animal escapades from around the world showcasing how audacious our furry and feathered friends can be. An Airedale terrier drags his embarrassed owner into a museum, and manages to get her a private tour. A parrot takes surprising revenge on unsuspecting family members. A canny calf makes a bid for freedom using his tongue. While keeping their people on guard, these creatures also take on their peers, as in the case of the determined ewe whose authoritative stamp frightens two pit bulls away from her lambs, or the Dachshund who figures out a way to trick her canine friends out of their food night after night. These 89 reader-submitted tales give first-hand accounts of just how nervy, impish, and clever our nonhuman companions can be. Proceeds from Sassy Animals will help humane societies across the United States in their admirable quest to improve animal welfare.

The hilarious tale of hijinks and heroism, as told by big dog Jack, is now in paperback with fun, bright cover art. Jack and his girlfriend, Petra the Samoyed, run off. When Jack's owner has an accident while trying to find them, Jack gets to be the hero.

Researched, Clever as a Fox will challenge your previously held notions about animals and the measure of intelligence, both theirs and ours.

A New York Times bestseller: "A passionate and convincing case for the sophistication of nonhuman minds." —Alison Gopnik, The Atlantic Hailed as a classic, Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? explores the oddities and complexities of animal cognition—in crows, dolphins, parrots, sheep, wasps, bats, chimpanzees, and bonobos—to reveal how smart animals really are, and how we’ve underestimated their abilities for too long. Did you know that octopuses use coconut shells as tools, that elephants classify humans by gender and language, and that there is a young male chimpanzee at Kyoto University whose flash memory puts that of humans to shame? Fascinating, entertaining, and deeply informed, de Waal’s landmark work will convince you to rethink everything you thought you knew about animal—and human—intelligence.
