The Illustrated compendium of amazing animal facts

What a great book!  I requested this book primarily because my young sons love animals and animal facts. But it turns out I enjoyed it just the same. It was really fun learning so many things I never knew about animals. Like did you know most butterflies never eat as an adult because they have no mouth and survive off the food energy of being a caterpillar? Or that sharks lose their appetite before birth so they don't feel tempted to eat their young? Or what about mosquitos not only biting you, but peeing on you as well?!  I don't want to give anymore away, but rest assured you'll find lots of interesting facts In here. And I rather liked the black and white sketches and whimsical type font. It was simple but creative.  My only complaint, that the book wasn't three times as long !
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
