\ Children's Literature\ - Paula Rohrlick\ Fascinating facts, illustrated with beautiful National Geographic full-color photos and enhanced by lively colors and graphic design, make this an appealing coffee-table book for the younger set. What child does not like to regale others with such information as "Rhinoceroses don't sweat" and "The odds that an average golfer will make a hole in one during a game as 1 in 12,000"? If you have always wanted to know how many people are born every day, how many two-inch sticky notes it would take to circle the globe, or how many flowers bees have to visit to make an average jar of honey, this is the place to look. Many of the facts deal with animals, and other frequent topics include outer space, technology, food, and the human body, though there is no attempt to organize the material. There is an index, but no citations, unfortunately. Great fun for browsing, though, as this is an attractive volume filled with entertaining trivia. Sequel to Weird But True! 300 Outrageous Facts.
