Book Review

This book has loads of awesome facts and made me giggle. I recommend this book to anyone who likes animals

The dedication to the author’s  family says “hope you’re grateful we didn’t eat you!” Normally it would say ‘To X, this book is for you’.

I live in Europe so I started with the section on Europe (page 39). It’s got some funny jokes like on the page with the rheas: ‘Rhea-lly’. Did you know that guillemot babies have to jump off a cliff before they can even fly properly at all?

The red velvet spider gives the ultimate sacrifice by letting her babies eat her. The female glass frogs kick out at their enemies. I didn’t understand the joke about ‘crouching frog, hidden ninja’ so I don’t think a lot of people my age would. My parents explained it to me.

I would have preferred if koalas were included. The pictures are drawings not photos.

About the Book

Did you know that komodo dragons eat their babies?
And capybaras eat their own poo!?
And glass frogs use ninja kicks to protect their eggs?

If there’s one thing we know about the animal kingdom it’s that the families that roar, howl, croak, chirp and squeak come in all different shapes, sizes and colours.

Find out how different animals find food, stay safe and even just get a moment of peace and quiet. Whilst some families are loving, there are others whose relationships are a lot more dangerous . . .
