Why headless chickens run and other crazy things you need to know by Michael Cox
Scholastic, 2011. ISBN 9781741699791.
This book is great fun. I am sure it will appeal to those children
who are always asking why. It is full of useless facts, mainly of
the gross kind, and funny stories that usually appeal to mainly boys
in the Year 3-5 age group. The way it is set out encourages dipping
in at various parts.
It would be best enjoyed in a group and may even encourage the more
reluctant reader to have a go as the page layout is inviting and the
cartoon-like illustrations add to its appeal.
