Animal Records: The Biggest, Fastest, Weirdest, Tiniest,
Slowest, and Deadliest Creatures on the Planet
by Sarah Wassner & Kathy Furgang
208 pages; ages 8 - 12
National Geographic Children's Books, 2015
Sometimes you’ve just got to know what was the slo-o-owest
dinosaur of all. Or the speediest. Or maybe you need to find out what animal
sings the loudest, has the most deadly bite, or looks the weirdest. Now there’s
a handy reference filled with enough facts and photos to provide scintillating
conversation around the supper table. And maybe garner a few extra points on
your next report.
Cool things you’ll learn by browsing through this book
include: the kill rate of dragonflies and other predators; that there really
are zombie worms; how long it would take a turtle to “run” a 100-meter race;
and who’s smarter in the animal world.
