Have you ever wondered how cats always land on their feet? It turns out, they have a very flexible spine and can turn very quickly. In this entertaining book, readers learn this and more through several imaginary match ups between animals known for being especially flexible. From the octopus to the ferret, the bendiest beings are profiled and take each other on for a fun way to learn about interesting features of cool animals. A colorful design and ending activity make this book a unique addition to any library or classroom.

Praise & Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 3-5-Playful illustrations and an interesting mishmash of facts highlight these animal comparisons. Each title introduces six creatures, listing size, habitat, and a particularly notable feature of each animal, along with a nickname (the hippopotamus is the "The Muddy Maniac" in Who's the Deadliest?). The animals pair off into three separate "battles." Criteria for victory varies based on the animals: it's number of colors in "Chameleon vs. Garter Snake" (Who's the Brightest?), for instance, and a tunnel race in "Ferret vs. Cat" (Who's the Bendiest?). There's plenty of humor in the expressive cartoon animal drawings, aided by word balloons, varied fonts, and enthusiastic narration by a raccoon referee. At the same time, the comparisons present intriguing facts in an engaging manner. A spot photograph of each animal provides more accurate visual context. Closing pages offer quick facts about four more animals, a quiz, and an activity related to the animals' features. VERDICT A fun and useful series for fans of Jerry Pallotta's "Who Would Win?" books.
