Did you know that there are turtles who can track the Earth''s magnetic fields? That some fish use electricity to talk to each other? Or that giant squids evolved their enormous eyeballs to look out for whales?

And this young readers adaptation of the mega-bestseller AN IMMENSE WORLD is perfect for curious kids and their families. Sure to capture young readers'' interest it is filled amazing animal facts and stunning full-color illustrations. 

Along the way are tons of amazing animals facts: Did you know that leopard pee smells like popcorn? That there is a special kind of shrimp whose punches are faster than a bullet? That it''s important to take your dog for dedicated "smell walks?" Want to know the real reason zebras have stripes? (hint: it''s not for camouflage)? Pick up this enthralling and enormously entertaining book to find out!
