Description:
A super-cute adventure through 200 adorable facts, in an irresistible pocket-sized book.
Follow an ingenious trail of 200 facts about all things cute, cozy, and sweet. You'll meet the pygmy hippo called Moo Dheng whose ears wiggle when she sleeps and encounter the world's tiniest teddy bear. You'll learn that elephants dance in the rain and babies hiccup inside the womb. And you'll even jet off into space to discover a comet shaped like a rubber duck and a dwarf planet with a huge, heart-shaped ice field on its surface. Every fact in the book is connected to the next in funny and delightful ways. But there isn't just one trail through these pages: sometimes your path branches and you can choose to jump to a totally different (but still connected) part of the book. Where will your curiosity take you?
