Product Description

Book Description

From the team that brought ignorance to millions, this Christmas bestseller is now in a handy pocket-sized edition.

Product Description

Meet the water bears that can live in suspension for hundreds of years, the parasite carried by your cat that makes men grumpy and women promiscuous, and the woodlouse that drinks through its bottom. Marvel at elephants that walk on tiptoe, the pigs that shine in the dark, and the woodpeckers that have ears on the end of their tongues. From the team that brought ignorance to millions, a Christmas bestseller - full of illuminating illustrations, maps and diagrams - shrunk down to a pocket-friendly, easily-searchable, portability-considerate size.

Funny and informative 25 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
The kind of book you can pick up when you want cheering up, read a small amount then save it for the next down moment.

Format:Paperback
The format reminded me a bit of 253, with a name, picture, fun line drawing, a tag line and a double page spread per animal. The style was informal and comfortable to read with lots of entertaining surprises. Great for short breaks, travelling or when you're too tired to concentrate for long periods of time. However, a bit like chocolate, too much in one sitting is not recommended.

No need to read it from cover to cover just dip in and learn something new with each 2 page spread.
From QI it was likely to be educational and fun & it is :o)
