Description
Presents both facts and humorous answers, in a manner which young readers will find interesting, to questions about many different kinds of animals, such as why zebras have stripes, why lions have manes, and why crocodiles cry tears. Why do monkeys have tails? Why do camels have humps? All questions are answered here but not all answers are serious! Why are zebras striped? Why do kangaroos have pouches? Why do some monkeys have tails? Does this sound like someone you know? Distinctive and captivating art (Lila Prap is Slovenia's Hans Christian Andersen Medal nominee this year), combines with silly questions, and some very, very silly answers (along with the serious ones), to make this the perfect book for your sometimes ridiculous, ever curious, loveable, maddening, why afflicted zoologist. You just might learn a fact or two yourselves at the very least you'll learn what makes a five-year-old laugh so hard he falls down!
