What's the Weirdest Thing About the World?

Bloomsbury presents What's the Weirdest Thing About the World? by Edward Brooke-Hitching, read by Louis Hill.

“The world is fantastic and enormous. It’s colourful, beautiful, exciting. Sometimes it’s dangerous, and occasionally it’s disgusting. You already know all of this. But, did you know just how weird a place the world can be?”

From Labrador-sized pearls to salt-and-vinegar-flavoured grass, set off with Edward Brooke-Hitching on a fact-packed expedition to discover the strangest, silliest, and down-right weirdest things each continent has to offer.

Written by QI elf and author extraordinaire, the second book in Brooke-Hitching’s spectacular new series is extraordinarily enlightening and seriously shareable. Both information- and humour-rich, it is a glorious treasure trove of bite-sized facts for children to either snack on throughout the week or gobble up all in one go. And with a ‘Who’s the Smartest?’ quiz at the end of each section, this book is the perfect companion for children determined to know their skelf from their spitters – and that’s a fact!

Also available in this series: What’s the Weirdest Thing About Animals.
