Wow! I Didn't Know That: Surprising Facts About Animals

32 pp. | Kingfisher/Macmillan | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7534-7117-3 $15.99 | Paper ISBN 978-0-7534-7166-1 $8.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marc Aspinall. Each spread in this book is illustrated with several friendly looking animals on a vibrantly colored background. Small paragraphs as well as curvy strings of text impart random facts about the pictured animals, sometimes grouped together by related characteristics (birds, large mammals, polar animals, etc.) There isn't much substance to the scattershot information, but young trivia buffs will likely be sold.
