The Great Book of Horrible Facts: You'd be Crazy to Miss This Beastly Bundle of Grossness! - Softcover

This is a fun and fascinating reference book full of completely horrible facts covering a variety of subjects for children aged 8 and up. Appealing to the perennial children's appetite for all things gross and yucky -- and for strange but true information -- this book features chapters on the body, food, science, history, animals and other random horrible facts, with every page including a quirky illustration. Being educational -- as well as horrible -- it has the double appeal of being both factual and fun, and as it covers several subjects in one volume, it offers great value for money.
