Critics Review

Packed with funny illustrations, it’s gross and fascinating in equal measure.

Bursting at the seams with facts that will fascinate, give you cause to laugh-out-loud and stop to explore the illustrations so you can absorb as much information and detail as possible. * Armadillo Magazine *
