The Colossal Book of Incredible Facts for Curious Minds is for those interested in a wide range of strange facts, a trivia collection that takes in science, animals, nature, and more, that is for dipping into every now and then, it does not really lend itself to reading from cover to cover. Whilst the galley had some issues, here are some facts that caught my attention. On Neptune it rains diamonds, sadly armadillos can get leprosy, beware that rattlesnakes can bite, even when apparently dead, horses are unable to vomit, and cows have 'besties' that help with stress. White rhinos pass messages to one another in their poo, giraffes have precisely the same number of neck bones as we humans do and I wish I had been there when a giant rabbit saved the life of his diabetic owner after he passed out, it jumped on his chest and started thumping! Can recommend this for filling in hours with an array of interesting facts. Many thanks to the publisher for an ARC.

A fun book for casually exploring random facts from a variety of categories, including animals, space, technology and more.

This book could be amusing for teenagers or maybe if you’re sitting at the airport or waiting for a doctor’s appointment and want to check out for a while.
