What’s the Weirdest Thing About Animals?

"Every species has something fascinating and bizarre about it - whether it's worms that glow red-and-green like a traffic light or birds with claws bigger than those of a grizzly bear. Basically, the animal world is massively, wonderfully weird. But have you ever wondered just how weird things get?"

From bottom-breathing turtles to fish that live in trees, set off with Edward Brooke-Hitching on a fact-packed safari to discover the strangest, silliest, and down-right weirdest things our planet's amazing animals has to offer.

Written by QI elf and author extraordinaire, the first book in Brooke-Hitching's spectacular new series is extraordinarily enlightening and seriously shareable. Both information- and humour-rich, it is a glorious treasure trove of bite-sized facts for children to either snack on throughout the week or gobble up all in one go. And with a 'Who's the Smartest?' quiz at the end of each section, this book is the perfect companion for children determined to know their barking piranhas from their purring rottweilers - and that's a fact!
