Okay this book is so fun!! it has facts I already knew and some I didn’t. All the pictures are black and white and drawn in a fun and almost whimsical way, and I love that.
I was afraid this would be a read it once and then put it down..and for the most part it kinda is.
My daughter loved reading them to…i think she read them once by herself and another time out loud to anyone who’d listen to them!!
I loved the one about penguins being ticklish and want to know who tried that one out lol!! that must have been so cute.
When my kiddos first saw the book, because it was black and white, their first reaction was can we color in it….and although I’m kinda tempted to, I told them no lol.

I kind of pulled back from applying for books to catch up on my crazy tbr pile but stuff like this makes me want to hurry and get back to it lol
My tbr pile is out of control too!!
