Honey, I Ate the Kids

Did you know that komodo dragons eat their babies? And capybaras eat their own poo!? And glass frogs use ninja kicks to protect their eggs? If there’s one thing we know about the animal kingdom it’s that the families that roar, howl, croak, chirp and squeak come in all different shapes, sizes and colours. Find out how different animals find food, stay safe and even just get a moment of peace and quiet. Whilst some families are loving, there are others whose relationships are a lot more dangerous. Every page is beautifully illustrated and packed full of facts, quizzes and activities that will surprise, entertain and disgust!
