Jack Hanna's newest book,
The Wackiest, Wildest, Weirdest Animals in the World, is totally delightful. I was already familiar with Mr. Hanna from seeing him interviewed on television, and most folks are aware of how silly he can be, but I didn't know until recently that he wrote books. After receiving this one in the mail to review, I was amazed at how he mixed learning with quirkiness. We all gained something from it, and our kids continue to pick up the book, and talk about it---mostly about the strangest information. Children love disgusting fun-facts, you know. There are animals in the book that, I guarantee, you've never heard of, whether you wanted to or not! An added treat is a DVD of Jack Hanna bloopers. A treat all the way around.
