Book Review for ‘The Illustrated Compendium of Amazing Animal Facts’ by Maja Safstrom’ and Ten Speed Press

4/9/2016

Book Description
An artfully playful collection of unexpected and remarkable facts about animals, illustrated by Swedish artist Maja Säfström.

Did you know that an octopus has three hearts? Or that ostriches can't walk backward? These and many more fascinating and surprising facts about the animal kingdom (Bees never sleep! Starfish don't have brains!) are illustrated with whimsical detail in this charming collection.

You can find the book at the Amazon product page by copying and pasting this link into your browser: http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Compendium-Amazing-Animal-Facts/dp/1607748320/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1460189700&sr=1-1&keywords=the+illustrated+compendium+of+amazing+animal+facts

MY REVIEW:
Ten Speed Press has done it again! Another wonderfully amazing book, and I gladly give it a 5 star rating, which is rare for me.  This book has a delightful old style look to it at first glance of the cover, which is a bit different.  The illustrations all follow the same style, and are in black and white. The animal facts are delivered in short and sweet one-liners.  Very attention grabbing, and very funny! In today’s world of short Tweets, I think this book will appeal not only to children, but to adults as well.  I enjoyed, and even laughed out loud, at some of the facts inside, but don’t want to list any spoilers. You’ll have to read it for yourself!
