Publisher's Summary

Bats are blind. An old dog can’t learn new tricks. The early bird catches the worm. You may have heard some of these common sayings or beliefs before. But are they really true? Can they be proven using science? Let's investigate 17 statements about animals and find out which ones are right, which ones are wrong, and which ones still stump scientists! Find out whether a cat always lands on its feet after a fall! Discover whether camels store water in their humps! See if you can tell the difference between fact and fiction with Is That a Fact?

Please note: The original source audio for this production includes noise/volume issues. This is the best available audio from the publisher.

Critic Reviews

"Life often presents us with perplexing questions, and finding the answers isn’t always easy. Luckily this new series should help you look 'oh so smart!' Each book concentrates on a different topic. On each two-page spread questions are answered in a succinct, clear, and understandable manner. In addition, further-related information is provided. The illustrations, a mixture of photographs and cartoons, will grab students' attention. So the next time a patron arrives wanting to know answers to questions such as 'Can an alligator really live in the sewer?' Or 'Can you fry an egg on the sidewalk?' you’ll be ready for them! Bibliography. Glossary. Websites. Table of Contents. Index. Recommended." (Library Media Connection)
