The Illustrated Compendium of Amazing Animal Facts

by Maja Safstrom

New York Times bestseller • An artfully playful collection of unexpected and remarkable facts about animals, illustrated by Swedish artist Maja Säfström.

Did you know that an octopus has three hearts?
Or that ostriches can't walk backward?
Or that a group of owls is called a parliament, or that they have three eyelids?

Sea otters hold hands in their sleep, bees never sleep, and penguins laugh when they're tickled!

This charming compendium contains over 100 pages of fascinating facts about the animal kingdom illustrated with whimsical detail.

A very cute little book that took my eye mainly thanks to the illustrations there. But besides the artistic side it has a very interesting facts that I did not know for most of the times.
