Earth years? Or that space is thought to smell like ... burnt

outer space adventure from Mike Lowery! Praise for Everything
Awesome About Space and Other Galactic Facts: "A charged-up roundup
of astro-facts... a blast from first to last." - Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Everything Awesome About Sharks and Other Underwater
Creatures: "In the wake of Everything Awesome About Dinosaurs and
Other Prehistoric Beasts! (2019), Lowery spins out likewise frothy
arrays of facts and observations about sharks, whales, giant squid,
and smaller but no less extreme (or at least extremely interesting)
sea life... An immersive dunk into a vast subject-and on course for
shorter attention spans." - Kirkus Reviews Praise for Everything
Awesome About Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Beasts: "Lowery
sandwiches a populous parade of very simply drawn dinos between a
history of prehistory and a roundup of diverse topics, from what
paleontologists do to sets of dinosaur jokes and A Few Kinda Weird
(and Unlikely!) Dino Extinction Theories... though true dinosaurs
hold the spotlight, flying and marine reptiles, early mammals, and
other fabulous early fauna take such frequent star turns that along
with infobites galore, readers will come away with a fairly sound
understanding of just how dinosaurs fit into the whole history of
life on this planet... A manic but solid series kickoff." - Kirkus

Why should grown-ups have all the fun? From the author of "Zobmondo
," the adult party book of outrageous choices, comes "You Gotta Be
Kidding " Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this
interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of
bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes
stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their
friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a
party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you
dare).
Ponder the icky: "Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese-OR-a
bucket of peanut butter--with nothing to drink?" The exponentially
icky: "Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage
can-OR-chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old
couch?" The fantastic: "Would you rather be able to talk with all
animals-OR-be able to understand all languages?" The
priority-testing: "As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and
score a goal for the other team but still have your team
win-OR-play your best game ever even though your team loses?" And
the hair-raising: "Would you rather swim across a river that is
filled with crocodiles-OR-spend the night on an island where
man-eating tigers live?" Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled
with interesting ancillary information--the nature of drool,
left-handedness vs. righthandedness, what's dangerously filthy and
what's just gross, why we blush when we're embarrassed--that will
help kids make their choice.
