Book Review

In this fun-filled question book all the answers have been turned in a clever and funny poem

Have you ever wondered things like ‘Why do clouds float?’ Or ‘Who invented football?’

If so then this is the perfect book for you. This is a great combination of learning and laughter, a lovely mix.

In this fun-filled question book all the answers have been turned in a clever and funny poem.

This book also has great illustrations too! Some of my favourite poems are ‘Are unicorns real?’ And ‘How do you fart?’

Each poem has a box underneath it, explaining the answer if you didn’t get it. This book is very unique and special in its own way.

This book makes learning fun and makes people want to learn more too. I recommend this book for people that are ready to go on and an adventure.

Also, for people that want to learn in a fun way. So, get ready for an action-packed-adventure.
