I just love reading about interesting facts – things that are strange and weird and things that are wonderful and amazing. You can learn new facts about everyday animals and things that you would never have considered. For instance, did you know that the blue whale has a heart the size of a small car and that some of the major arteries in the whale a five year old child could crawl through? I think that is incredible. Or did you know that you grow faster in the first two years of your life than you do at any other time, and that as people get older they sometimes start to shrink? There are some great books in the library about this kind of stuff but check out Really Big Stuff for some super size stuff to expand your brain.
