Splat the Fake Fact!: Doodle on them, laser beam them, lasso them

Description

Watch out! Some incorrect facts have escaped from my imagination and into the pages of this book. On every page there are incredible, hilarious, unlikely facts that are completely true... and one fact that isn't! Can you find the imposter fact and reveal it before it goes out into the world? Can you guess which of these facts is NOT true? Woodlice have blue blood. Dead cabbage cafe is the name of a band. King Edward III banned football in England. You swallow about 1 litre of snot a day! (That's roughly 5 skips FULL of snot, swallowed during your lifetime.) When glass snakes are attacked, their tail shatters into little pieces - these pieces jump around and distract the predator... while the rest of the snake escapes! Read on as you hunt for fascinating facts and use your detective skills to uncover the untrue 'fact'. With hilarious illustrations, you'll need all your brains to discover the answers: can you 'squash' the made-up bug fact, decipher hieroglyphics, and join the stars in a night-time sky to find all the answers?
