A Kid's Review

This review is from: World's Weirdest Critters (Ripley's Believe It Or Not!) (Paperback)

This is a fun book filled with amazing animals. For example I like the furry frog. It can't get much weirder than that! The book tells a lot about the animal you read about and it has pictures of the animal too. I think you would like this book.

My 13 year old daughter simply loved it. She read it in 10 minutes. It is slim though....

For a moment she thought what the book said was a joke, so perhaps it would be better to make sure children know in advance that what they are going to read is really true.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun book but...., October 8, 2011

... I wasn't expecting this book to be so small. It's the size of a papberback, I was expecting the usual big, glossy, hardcover. And I would have liked it to have more color pictures. Quite a few of the pictures are illustrations and black and white. But, I purchased a second-hand version so it wasn't too bad.
