Summary: Did you know that Koala bears sleep 18 hours a day? Or that a pregnant polar bear can go without food for up to 8 months? This book shares bits of information followed by questions for you to answer such as: What is the longest you’ve ever slept at one time? Or If you have to pick one song to sing that would be your very own song, which one would it be? This book requires the reader to not only absorb small bits of information, but to also think about how this information could apply to them.
Read A-likes: KidChat; KidChat Too!; and KidChat Oh, the Place to Go!
Personal Thoughts: This book is amazing! Small and short, but contains hours of fun and learning for children and adults alike. Also would be a very good travel book for use in the car to entertain children on long drives. The information tidbits are unique, engaging and interesting, and the questions are thought provoking, even for children.
