Why Why Why Are Orang-Utans So Hairy,?" is a fun fact book about mammals. Children will love reading the fun facts, such as, "how many gallons does a baby whale drink in day?"This book is very informational, but very fun too. Teachers could read-aloud just one page at a time, or children could read this to themselves. I would say this book would be best for 3rd or 4th graders.

A huge range of animal facts that'll keep children occupied for hours. Great illustrations and intuitive layout as well
