Lift-the-flap Strongest, Cleverest, Deadliest...

Description

A fact-packed flap book of weird and wonderful record-breaking plants, animals, people and machines. In this stylish follow-up to 'Lift-the-Flap Biggest, Fastest, Tallest', readers can find out what the strongest, deadliest, fiercest, cleverest, hottest, coldest, smelliest and weirdest things are. Ideal for children who want the information but are daunted by the sheer size and word count of other 'Records' books. There are facts about all kinds of animals, amazing achievements by people around the world, the most impressive computers and robots, and even the most powerful forces in the known universe.

Darran spent a decade as children's bookseller in Durham. He studied crime scene and forensic science at university. It's handier than you'd expect. He collects useless facts, and writes about lots of subjects - especially science. He is passionate about stories, music, and will talk about octopuses at great length.
