More About the Author
Ginjer L. Clarke writes fun, fact-filled nonfiction beginning readers about weird, wonderful animals. Her love for strange creatures started early, as the first story she remembers writing in the third grade was "The Strange Animal" about a small, pink-spotted imaginary creature called a Woofa. She loves that her job entails visiting zoos and aquariums, reading lots of books, and even watching TV for research. And she can work at home in her pajamas, which is a lifelong dream!
Ginjer's books, most of which are part of Grosset & Dunlap's All Aboard Science Reader series, have sold a combined total of more than 2 million copies worldwide. Her books Freak Out! and Gross Out! were on Publisher's Weekly's 2006 and 2007 lists of top 100 best-selling children's books. Her book Platypus! (Random House Step into Reading) was awarded the Maryland Library Association's 2005 Blue Crab Young Reader Award for Nonfiction and was selected by the National Science Teachers Association as recommended classroom reading. Her books have been favorably reviewed in Booklist, Horn Book, School Library Journal, Children's Literature, and regional newspapers and magazines.
Ginjer is an experienced and lively school, library, and conference presenter, who has appeared at many elementary schools, regional reading and writing conferences, statewide book festivals, bookstores and libraries, and even a zoo. She is a graduate of James Madison University and lives in Richmond, Virginia, with her husband, young son, and several silly-looking pets.

This review is from: Freak Out!: Animals Beyond Your Wildest Imagination (Penguin Young Readers, L3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Freak Out! is one of my daughter's favorite books. This introduction to some of the stranger animals that share our planet -- from pink dolphins to blue-tongued skinks -- is chock full of interesting information and illustrations.

This review is from: Freak Out!: Animals Beyond Your Wildest Imagination (Penguin Young Readers, L3) (Mass Market Paperback)
My son does not particularly enjoy reading himself, but this book series is one that he happily read. I highly recommend for any child that is interested in animals and some of the gross and interesting things that they do. We went to the zoo after reading this series too and my son had a ball seeing some of the animals from this series. He thinks these books are cool.

This review is from: Freak Out!: Animals Beyond Your Wildest Imagination (Penguin Young Readers, L3) (Mass Market Paperback)
My daughter found this book to be both engaging and cool. She loves animals, and the neat thing about this book is that she learns about some very unusual ones and their bizarre and exotic qualities. She enjoys learning about the animals as well as seeing the vibrant illustrations that go with them. As an adult, I found this book to be well researched and clearly written. It's the kind of book I can easily read multiple times and not be bored!
