This unusual and striking picture book combines fun with scientific facts. Seymour Simon has collected a fascinating variety of common beliefs about animals and presented them in the form of a guessing game. Each belief appears on one page with a witty illustration by Diane deGroat (Gilbert) that carries the belief to its funniest extreme and asks, Fact or Fiction? The correct answer appears on the following page, accompanied by a scientifically accurate illustration that shows the animal as it really behaves. The best kind of book, one that entertains while it educates. (Publishers Weekly)
