This book is one of a series X Does the Strangest Things - a series for early readers which introduces them to nature and science in an entertaining way. The writing is active and appealing to its audience "Swoosh! A great load of water rushes in. A fish gets swept in, too. Then the matamata spits our the water. But he doesn't spit out the fish!"There is a wonderful selection of animals - some from everyday life, some seen at zoos or encountered in stories and some true exotics.
