And now you really know why!

Seldom does one come across a little tome like this that just about anyone who picks it up will find the answer to some question about animals that has puzzled them for along time. Even if nothing ever made you wonder;you'll surely find many interesting things about creatures that are all atound us;and you'll amaze everyone when you tell them why things are as they are. A great, simplified source of information for adults or anyone .All one needs to be able to do is read and have an interest. A very common expression in the world of nature is "To Everything There Is A Season". Well, just as pertinent is the thought that " For every Creature There Is A Reason For What It Does". There are literally hundreds of questions asked and answers given ;so explanations are short and simple A few run a couple of pages ,while many are less than a page. The writer puts a lot of humor in his questions and answers;but above all;his answers are clear and easy to comprehend. Just to give you an idea of the range of things covered;here are a sampling of what questions you'll have answered; What should one do when a Gorilla charges? What are my odds of being killed by a Grizzly Bear? What is the best way to introduce a cat and a baby? What animals have fought in war? Why can't pets enjoy a Hersey's Kiss? Why should we bother saving the Rain Forests?Who do you love more,your Grandchild or your cat? Where does Kitty Litter come from? Why do our politicians behave like Chimpanzees" Can I be buried with my pet? What pet did Frank Sinatra give Marilyn Monroe? This book would be a great asset for teachers who would like to create som interesting discussions in their classes;or even questions to toss out among the guys over a few beers.
