Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Freaks of Nature
David Anderson · 2025
57/100
👎 Skip It
This is a fun, bite-sized fact book packed with 32 genuinely weird animals — the kind of thing that hooks a reluctant reader fast. I just can't find anyone else who's reviewed it, and it has the hallmarks of a self-published title, so I'd treat the production quality as a bit of a gamble.
