Book Description

1 Oct 2009

100 FACTS ABOUT PANDAS, chronicles for the very first time the amazing social, cultural and natural history of the panda.

Startling panda facts, including:

That the otherwise slow moving Panda can outrun a cheetah when moving backwards

That panda fur, when woven into a fabric, is bulletproof

Eleanor, the drumming panda, briefly replaced Ringo Starr in The Beatles

Pandas were frequently used as background extras in classic black and white films

That all panda cubs or 'cubinetts' as they are called, are born female and will only turn male if given a fright in their first 48 hours

Your knowledge of Pandas is about to get 100 Facts more knowledgeable

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Shark Facts & Highly Entertaining 28 Oct 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
100 Facts About Sharks is a real eye-opener into the exotic underwater world of sharks. This book reveals more about sharks than almost any other natural history account. Covering all species, it provides amazing insights and useful facts for your quiz team, lift conversations or commuting chats. In three words, this book is: Shark-tasitc, Shark-eriffic and Shark-tabulous!

For those that realise that this is a comedy book, it will also leave you highly entertained. The book is set up with 100 Facts relating to sharks. Each Fact is delivered on a double page spread, with an accompanying image and caption. The images are all very well done and the captions sometimes more insightful (amusing) than the fact itself. The book is reasonably small (about 15x10x1cm), but hardback bound, giving it a nice feel.

Along with it's sister book (100 Facts about Pandas), this covers a wild array of different Facts, that if told with a straight face, could potentially convince people. Some of the Facts are simply absurd, but most are just bizarre enough to make you think 'could that be real?' if told in isolation. For this reason, I like these books.

One a day, or as a coffee table book, you and your friends will enjoy it. It won't take you long to get through it if you read it all in one go, so I'd suggest little and often as the best approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars PANDAS!!! 4 Dec 2009
Format:Hardcover
ashadeofnight, I think i will call you stupid for buying this book. Who buys a book after a glance, let alone one with the title 100 facts about pandas??? Why dont you take it back and swap it for '100 facts about people that buy books not knowing what they are about'? Anyway this is a very funny book for those with a sense of humour!
