Quick, fun and full of photos: Is That a Fact? series

Can Rats Swim from Sewers into Toilets? and other Questions about Your Home

You’re not going to like the answer. And try not to think about the cockroaches!

Is There Life on Other Planets? and Other Questions about Space

What about UFOs? And do astronauts really wear diapers?

Is the Bermuda Triangle Really a Dangerous Place? and Other Questions about the Ocean

Giant squids, sea dragons, dirty ocean water, the shark’s keen sense of smell—hopefully the facts won’t keep you away from the beach.

Do People Really Have Tiny Insects Living in Their Eyelashes? and Other Questions about the Microscopic World

There are a lot of fascinatingly gross critters in this book. And if the various kinds of mites and the information about where they live and what they eat (skin, anyone?) don’t turn your stomach, it’s made of cast iron. Creepy, but you can’t put it down.
