Summary

There are 1.371 million animal species on Earth, each with their own quirky characteristics. Keep listening to learn some bonkers and hysterical facts about a few of them!

  • Like the time my friend's hearing aid was stolen by a kookaburra
  • Or the bizarre courting rituals of echidnas
  • Or that cockroaches can survive without their heads
  • Or that platypuses glow in the dark!

People won't protect things they don't love. People won't love things they don't know. Here's your kid's chance (and your chance, too) to get to know some awesome, amazing, and amusing animals! In this audiobook, you'll also discover:

  • Which animals have technicolor bodies
  • Which insects have been known to engage in mutiny
  • Which animals are the most dedicated parents
  • Which population of insects weigh more than humans!

I'm Mary Beth (aka, aReluctantMom.com), a wildlife biologist who has spent years working on wildlife conservation issues both as a field biologist and as a lobbyist in Washington, DC.

In the field, I implemented conservation projects for birds and marine animals; in DC, I fought to pass natural resource conservation legislation and distributed millions in funding for fish and wildlife conservation programs.

In short, I love animals and was reluctant to leave my work behind for maternity leave.

But now that I'm a mom, I'm trying to instill that same love of animals in my kiddo. It fills my heart to see him try to move turtles out of the road, rescue jellyfish on the beach, and save moths that get into the house. 

The world around us is fascinating, as is the wildlife in it. My goal is to inspire a love and respect for this planet that'll make the next generation socially and environmentally conscious and motivate them to protect the earth, its inhabitants, and its resources. Download this audiobook now to join the movement, and get a laugh in the process! Enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great Trivia Audiobook

I listened to this audiobook in one sitting and was totally mesmerised. The book is so great that I got my wife and kids to listen to it too (and then I listened again!) So many cool facts that I discovered, including that a cockroach can breathe without it's head and that dolphins can sleep with one eye open! The book is an amazing insightful audio journey, broken down into various sections to make it easy to go back to listen about specific animals. Super audiobook for the family, and even for a road trip. Highly recommend.

WOW!

Some of these animal facts absolutely blew my mind!! over 3.5 hours of pure fun for both me and the kids. We put it on every morning on the way to school and it certainly made the car journeys fun. They're now onto round 2 and are listening through it again. Great narration by Hilary Buuck!

Great Gift for Grandparents

I never realized how many animals I wasn't familiar with. This is a great gift for yourself if you have grandkids. They can color and you can learn and discuss the animals together. Very cool little find. Well done.

What a great book (and I’m an adult !)
I really enjoyed listening to the weird and wonderful facts,sometimes about creatures I’d never even heard of ,as well as the author’s stories of her own experiences as a wildlife biologist.
Appreciate the bonus downloads too.

A Fun Book For All.

Although this book is aimed at kids, it really is great for all the family. This is ideal if you are taking a road trip as this will keep the kids (and you) amused for hours. The narrator is superb and the book has got a great sense of fun. You'll love it..

Loved it, a brilliant book

Listened to this with my daughter in the car and she loved it. An extensive list of animals with some really crazy facts, a lot of which I had no idea about. So it was educational and fun for both of us! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend it.

I absolutely loved listening to this book !

I had the most enjoyable time listening to this book. I have always loved animals, but this book is amazing and very entertaining. It shows you so many interesting and unlikely things, of so many different animals. My new favorite is the Nudibranch, which unfortunately became know as the sea slug. This creature is so much better than that name, one of the most beautiful, and creatively unique little beings there is. I don't want to spoil it for you. This book is so entertaining and informative I loved it.

Listen wherever whenever

I am animal enthusiast and I have to say I learned so much from this book. I like listening to these books while I work and I had so much fun learning about all sorts of creatures. The best part for me was learning the gestation periods for so many animals. Some animals have a gestation period up to 18 years! That is so crazy!! This book is unlike any other animal facts I have listened. I plan on playing it for my son as we go to school each morning. He loves learning these facts as well!
