Cool Cars (Fact Attack) Book

"During World War One, an Australian soldier went to hospital for some trouble with a leg. He was found to have two hearts! They beat one after the other." The second instalment in the "Fact Attack" series, Beastly Bodies contains more amazing facts and statistics for curious youngsters which you're guaranteed not to have heard before. Did you know that one in 20 people has an extra rib? Or that "a human bite is more dangerous than that of a dog, a cat or a horse"?
