Why read it?
1 author picked Lifetime as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There’s plenty to count on the pages, but this book soars by stressing the repetition of events in the lifetimes of spiders, snakes, kangaroos, and other animals. The word “amazing” in the title sets a bar that’s met as we learn that a woodpecker will drill thirty holes in trees. A giraffe will sport 200 spots. And there’s much more for eager readers to count.
From Jeannine's list on starring math, bugs and strong girls.
