If you get confused about which way is left and which way is right, you are not alone. 1 in 5 people get their left and right mixed up sometimes. This book has some very interesting and fun facts about your left and right. Did you know that:
1 in 10 people prefer to use their left hand.
2 in 10 people prefer to use their left foot.
3 in 10 people prefer to use their left eye.
4 in 10 people prefer to use their left ear.
One in every hundred people use both their left and right hands to do different tasks. They are ambidextrous. And did you know that as recently as a few hundred years ago, being left-handed was a good enough reason for someone to be called a witch or warlock and sentenced to death. Glad we didn’t live then!
Even some animals are left and right handed. Nearly all kangaroos are left-handed. Most chimpanzees are right-handed and cats will always use the same paw when doing difficult tasks.
So what are you, a lefty or a righty?
