Review by Horn Book Review

Wagner presents fifty unusual (and random) facts about animals. A brief introduction explains that behaviors that seem wacky to us actually help the animals, and this idea is loosely reinforced throughout the text. Each spread also includes a "More About..." paragraph providing additional information about that animal as well as a cartoonish illustration--which emphasizes the silly factor and unfortunately downplays the science.
