<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An illustrated compendium of animals with funny, fascinating, or just-plain-weird names (like the sparklemuffin peacock spider or the fried egg jellyfish) teaches kids about unusual animals as well as scientific taxonomy. Genuinely fun reference!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A fascinating compendium featuring over 70 unusual animal species.</b> <p/> What's in a name? This lively, illustrated celebration is jam-packed with creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names. <p/> Meet the <b>White-Bellied Go-Away Bird</b>, whose cry sounds like someone screaming, "Go away!" Or the <b>Aye-Aye</b>, whose name means "I don't know" in Malagasy because no one wants anything to do with this bad-luck creature. <p/> Some are obvious, if still weird--guess what the <b>Fried Egg Jellyfish </b>looks like. Others sound like an inside joke: It's easy to figure out what was on the taxonomist's mind when he christened a fly he discovered <b>Pieza Pie</b>. <p/> Along the way you'll learn all about these curiously named animals' just-as-curious habits, appearances, and abilities.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book is irresistible...The plentiful full-color illustrations and photos are especially compelling, and, in addition to giggling and snorting (bluefooted booby! monkeyface prickleback!) readers will learn a great deal. This fun romp will delight animal-lovers and liven up STEM collections." <i><b>--</b>Booklist, </i>starred review <p/> "Like its title, this is sure to be a scream." <i><b>--</b>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/> "... a fun choice for supplementing science lessons at home or at school." <i><b>--</b>Foreword Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Matthew Murrie</b> is a former public school teacher, curriculum writer, and private academy instructor.
