The Fact or Fiction Behind Animals

Another fascinating and popular addition to our Class Non-Fiction library!With such catchy titles, this series of books can't help but appeal to a great many youngsters; particularly those who are interested in collecting weird and wonderful facts!Most pages begin with a myth such as 'Giant Alligators Lurk in New York's Sewers' and then goes on to explain whether that is true or 'busted' and how we can know it. (This one is actually 'busted' - but you'll have to read the book to find out why!)Interspersed between these are pages of 'When Animals Attack; When Animals tell The Time; (how to escape!); 5 things you probably didn't know about ... (camels/cats/crocodiles/dogs etc); I'd Never Have Known; ... and loads of other fascinating things.The presentation is fun - although it is all published in black and white, which restricts the illustrations a little.All in all, this series of books should appeal to children and young people from 8 to 13 - particularly those who like the Horrible Histories series and a= who are interested in findiing out more about animals.
