  A really interesting, informative read!
  Engaging descriptions of some of the world's weirdest creatures!
  The illustrations and pictures really give you a sense of these animals, and help you to understand just how weird they are!
  A delightful little book, appropriate for all ages.

  I've been following the Strange Animals Twitter for some time now, so when I found out that they were releasing a book. I had to get myself a copy! Didn't disappoint, just like the Twitter it had loads of pictures and random facts on lots of different animals. It was great to see more a more in-depth look at the animals featured on their Twitter account. Fantastic job!

  This book celebrates the joy of biodiversity and the wonders of Nature. It’s a wild jaunt through the beautiful & the bizarre, and a perfect eye-opening Guide to life for perhaps the strangest known species of them all – Homo sapiens.

  The content of the book really is interesting, and I’ll happily keep it on my desk as a source of information and inspiration!

  I had a good browse through this before I gave it to my grandson. A great book, a great achievement for the author. It covers a vast range, and contains an incredible amount of information. It’s well presented and easy to read. Just a joy to pick up.

  As a game designer, when concepting monsters for @AQ3Dgame and our other games, there's no better place to turn for inspiration the weirdness all around us in the real world! Thanks, @StrangeAnimaIs and @AustinMacauley for the new inspiration and desk reference!

  Just purchased 'A Book of Rather Strange Animals' by Caleb Compton. A book written with such passion by the author of mysterious, intriguing and endangered creatures. Well worth reading and so informative - can't wait for his next book!T

  I bought this for my daughter's 7th birthday. She loves animals and has been really excited looking at all the strange creatures in here. It makes a change from the usual animal books that she has shown lots of different creatures we'd never heard of before. There's lots of information about the animals too. The adults in the household have very much been enjoying it as well. Very educational and just shows how amazing nature and evolution are. Highly recommended.
