Sounds good

Tired of force-feeding your offspring with worthy books? Try Nick Arnold
and Tony de Saulles’s Sounds Dreadful, part of the “Horrible Science” series.
Full of puns, anecdotes and cartoons, so the facts slither down easily. Did you
know a small, tired rattlesnake has a high-pitched, slow rattle? Published by
