About this book
The inside story of brains, eyes, teeth, pimples, farts, porcupines, Bactrian camels, komodo dragons, Japanese knotweed, lichen, clouds, clocks, Mars rovers, snowflakes - and everything in between. Each element gets its own page and is written in the form of first person diaries, hilariously presented in strip cartoons. This book so fabulously informative and definitely very fun - and funny. It gives the reader the feeling of knowing everything worth knowing.
This very unusual fact book explains topics up in such an amusing way that you barely realise you're reading a non-fiction book. The text and the illustrations/cartoons are pitch perfect funny, reminiscent of Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants. This book shouts out to be read, shared and read again. There can't be many children (as well as older readers who wouldn’t absolutely love this cracking read.
