But guess what? Hummingbirds and giraffes are both hummers, sharks and snails both have mouths full of thousands of sharp teeth, and meerkats and bees are both huggers. - That's just 3 of the 8 unexpected animal pairs readers will discover in this informative and entertaining book. - Each odd couple is introduced on an initial spread that has a quick fact about each animal and asks the question, "What could this odd couple have in common?" The question is answered on a second spread that includes expanded descriptions of the behavior or adaptation that the animals share. - The book's final pairing includes a diverse group of sweet-looking young humans and readers discover in what way we are like koalas. (Answer: We both have fingerprints. In fact, our fingerprints are so similar that even experts can have a hard time telling them apart!). Includes a glossary of terms."-- Provided by publisher. 004-008. 20250509. Animals Miscellanea Juvenile literature. Picture books. lcgft Trivia and miscellanea. Latif, Raz, illustrator. TXMLR
