I think this book would be a great addition to our nonfiction collection. There was a lot of interesting information about animals and it answered some questions I had myself.

I'm having a hard time imagining a situation in which someone might actually ask the questions in this book. I get that they're supposed to be "crazy" bu I'd have liked it better if they had been real questions. Or abandon the question construction entirely and just share some cool facts about animals.

The title of the book is one of the reasons I picked this book, and yes it has answered really crazy questions very nicely.

100 Crazy Questions: Creatures: The Science Behind Silly Animal Scenarios by Ben Grossblatt.

The book is like an encyclopedia about Animal and birds. All of them are divided into different sections like mammals. birds, reptiles and fish. It marks a question about the animal and also answers it. The author has also mentioned about the features of the animals. Other than just the animal pictures the book also has some funny illustrations added to connect with the question.

Overall this book is very nice and informative, the language is kept simple and easy to understand. While keeping it informative the author has also added some fun to the text. I recommend this book to everyone who does have some crazy questions.

Thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Becker & Mayer for this e-ARC.

This book is beautifully presented with interesting photos and illustrations on colourful pages.

The format of the book works really well with the separate sections for the question, information, answer and a fun fact file about the creature. The information is presented in a fun, conversational way, whilst still including educational value.

This book can be enjoyed by a wide variety of ages and would be a perfect book for any animal loving kids you know.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a must have book for anyone who loves facts. We liked the creature features sections on each page as well as the photos. The font is easy to read and interesting and the illustrations are great too. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Review to come September 6th to blog/Goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review. This was HILARIOUS.

I just books about animals, and this one promised 100 crazy questions so I was very curious to see what kind of questions there would be. Well, believe me, a lot of them are truly craycray. Like if you can jump rope an anaconda (no) or if starfish are actually zombies (all signs point to yes). There are also more normal questions, but I definitely liked the crazy and weird questions a lot more. We got enough books about questions so let's make it fun.

But next to the questions there is also more information on the animal, a creature feature with all the deets on the animal, and a Whaaat?!! part with some weird/fun/interesting fact.

The text itself is written in a very fun and punny way which I just loved. I definitely giggled and laughed quite a few times while reading the book.

Then there are photographs to go with each animal, and some animals get illustrations in a over-the-top fun way. The style of those illustrations was hilarious and fun (though it did fit some animals more than others).

All in all, if you want to laugh and learn, be sure to read this book.

Hmmm… This is an interesting attempt at a teach-biology-through-superlatives book, so we get the creature best at self-regenerating (the axolotl), the biggest birds' egg and the hummingbird at the other end of the scale, and so on and so forth, but it didn't really strike me as a success. I think the target audience will like it, but there was something off in its construction for me. An adult would see through the allegation that the book asked weird questions about nature first, and then learnt the answer – it's clearly the other way round, as inane questions (the hummingbird again) prove. So just tell us an atlas moth has no mouth and never eats as a moth, and don't hedge around by asking if it's a picky eater. And as the busy design here attests – all dynamic layout, and extra bits of information dumped any old where – this is high on the trivial. I've said it before, a book like this can and should spend two pages (all that's needed) to explain why this diversity exists in the life of our planet. It's too childish (especially here) to portray all these extremes of evolution without showing how those extremes are met, and too many people (USA, I'm looking at you, as this book is definitely an American one) are still taught evolution doesn't work. That aside, the fact remains this is a series of snapshots of the natural world, and – just like a set of postcards from a holiday – don't tell the full story. Two and a half stars.
