What animal is the best to tell jokes to? What animal is always in a bad mood? From where did a laughing hyena get its name? Does a praying mantis really pray?

Riddles are based on the word play of animals name and zoological facts (no tongue twisters!); the questions are tricky and you really have to think, and many riddles lead readers to "Ah ha" moments. Readers are also encouraged to turn the pages to see the answers, which accompnay fascinating facts about each animal. A black and white ink drawing is paired with each riddle, adding not only another laughing point but also to spark the readers imagination.

SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS –
1) Funny but also educational! - What a fantastic book! Every section starts with a question like that given in the title, ‘What animal needs a wig?’ This is followed by the answer on the next page - in this example, ‘a Bald Eagle’. It then goes on to give lots of interesting facts about animals related to that answer. You’ll learn lots reading this book about a wide range of animals. It has appropriate and often quite hilarious illustrations, too. A funny but very educational book I have no hesitation in recommending for the suggested age range of 6 - 9 years old but think it would also be of interest to older children, too - and younger ones would enjoy having it read to them.
Thanks to the author and publishers for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this in exchange for this, an honest review.
