“The world is fantastic and enormous. It’s colourful, beautiful, exciting. Sometimes it’s dangerous, and occasionally it’s disgusting. You already know all of this. But, did you know just how weird a place the world can be?” From Labrador-sized pearls to salt-and-vinegar-flavoured grass, set off with Edward Brooke-Hitching on a fact-packed expedition to discover the strangest, silliest, and down-right weirdest things each continent has to offer. Written by QI elf and author extraordinaire, the second book in Brooke-Hitching’s spectacular new series is extraordinarily enlightening and seriously shareable. Both information- and humour-rich, it is a glorious treasure trove of bite-sized facts for children to either snack on throughout the week or gobble up all in one go. And with a ‘Who’s the Smartest?’ quiz at the end of each section, this book is the perfect companion for children determined to know their skelf from their spitters – and that’s a fact! Also available in this series: What’s the Weirdest Thing About Animals.
