K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Pete Oswald.
Each volume presents select trivia about a variety of creatures. For example, the peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth, diving at two-hundred miles per hour (from Chickens); and ants take about 250 one-minute naps a day (from Hippos). While the cartoon illustrations make no attempt to be accurate, they add even more humor to these jocular, enjoyable collections. Review covers these Did You Know? titles: Chickens Don't Fly and Hippos Can't Swim.
