Unwrapping the book

This is an amazing educational book that kid's will love, especially boys and reluctant readers, and it's non-fiction.  The book is a celebration of strange weird animals that actually exist on our enchanting planet today.  

The book highlights 21 unique and interesting creatures from all over the globe and delves into their behaviour, diet, habitats and even some folklore that has been handed down about them for generations.  Here's the featured guest list of these incredible animals:

* Aye-Aye
* Pacific Barreleye
* Dumbo Octopus
* Star-nosed Mole
* Proboscis Monkey
* Hammer-headed Bat
* Platypus
* Mwanza Flat-headed Agama
* Hairy Frog
* Boxer Crab
* Pangolin
* Lowland Streaked Tenrec
* Helmeted Hornbill
* Narwhal
* Naked Mole-rat
* Hoatzin
* Kiwi
* Leafy Sea Dragon
* Hairy Frogfish
* Three-toed Sloth
* Human

Kids will love learning about these oddities in nature. The illustrations are beautiful and so enrich the biography of each animal splendidly.  "Who Are You Calling Weird?" should be in every classroom and elementary school library and I guarantee it will fly off the shelf.  It would be a fantastic research book also.  This fun, very interesting book, will pique interests and have kids flipping through the pages to learn more and more about these marvellous creatures.  I highly, highly recommend this book.
