In addition to the basic information taught at schools, each section contains loads of interesting asides, references to websites and other sources of information, and suggestions for fun things to do and places to visit, to ensure that these young readers enjoy their fact-finding explorations. The book will captivate them with facts such as these:

• The strongest muscle in your body is the one you use to bite.
• A blue whale's heart is the size of a VW beetle.
• A zebra shart has spots, not stripes.
