You know how you have a brain that helps you think and feel things? Well, different animals also have brains, but they are not the same as yours. Some animals have very tiny brains that only help them do easy things, like eating or sleeping. These animals may not think or feel much at all, or only a little bit. Other animals have bigger brains that help them do more things, like playing or talking. These animals may think and feel more than the tiny ones, but not as much as you. You have the biggest and best brain of all the animals, because it helps you do many wonderful things that no other animal can do, like reading stories, drawing pictures, singing songs, or counting numbers. You also have something very special that no other animal has: you can think about yourself and who you are. You can ask questions like “What is my name?” or “What is my favorite color?” or “How do I feel today?” This is called being self-aware or sentient. It means that you have a very special kind of thinking and feeling that makes you different from all the other animals.
