Clever Hans was a horse who could do math problems, tell time, read, spell, and more. . . or could he? Even after seeing Hans answer questions correctly, some people thought it must be a hoax. Scientists began to investigate. Eventually, one scientist had a groundbreaking "aha!" moment and realized Hans was clever in a way no one had even imagined. Turns out Hans was so smart, he changed science!
"Kokias' clear, accessible tone pairs well with Lowery' s cartoon style. The comically smiling horse invites readers in, and intermittent paneled frames help organize the flow of information and visually propel the storytelling arc. Clever, indeed. " -Kirkus "Lowery' s one-dimensional cartoon illustrations are playful and bold . . . Budding horse fans, history fans, and science fans will all find something here to pique their interests. " -Booklist
kerri' s writing features unique structures, playful language, humor, tension, tenderness, simple text, and complicated characters. She has a good vision for how text and art can work together to tell a complete story. Kerri credits most of her story ideas to her "fly on the wall" personality. This means she' s both a keen observer of social interactions and a nosey eavesdropper. Kerri lives in Seattle, Washington with her husband, two children, and three dogs.
