SELF-HARMING PARROTS AND EXPLODING TOADS is a marvellous compendium of the world's most unpleasant creatures and animal facts. Entries cover everything from the disgusting to the informative, including:: * Are cows' farts a major cause of climate change? * What happens at a dung beetle wedding? * Why do vultures defecate on themselves? * What's the best way to fight a crocodile?
Purchased - It looked interesting.
A great little book, with lots of nuggets of information. If you like you little party fun facts, bits of information that you can dip in and out of and wow people at parties then this is the book for you. Great little collection of stories highlighting the weird and wonderful world of animals. When reading this book it made me want to google the animals it mentioned to see if I could find more information or even just to look at the animals referenced. I thought it was a great little read.
Each section was long enough to present you with the facts whilst also short enough you could dip in and out this book, and also remember (hopefully) some of the facts mentioned. It was well written with plenty of wit to keep you going, and the style of writing was both informative and interesting. Worth having a book like this on your shelf, if you want to wow people with little nuggets of weird information.
