Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Enter the hilarious world of Sam Quigley, the strange-fact-obsessed owner of two stick insects called Twiggy and Wiggy in Exploding Beetles and Inflatable Fish.

Sam really likes interesting facts, the kind that will make you shout "Wow! I never knew that." Things like:
• Woodlice don''t pee―instead a smelly gas comes wafting out of their shells
• There is a fish with a stomach so stretchy it can swallow things twice as big as itself
• Bombardier beetles can explode like toxic water pistols!

Written by Tracey Turner, this STEM-focused book is packed with incredible facts and stats about the world’s weirdest animals. With a narrative that will have readers hooked, plus cool cartoon-style illustrations by Andrew Wightman, it’s a perfect book for fact fans, animal lovers, and reluctant readers alike.
