This is a high-quality children’s book for ages 9 and up. It contains the exactly what the title implies ~ wacky and weird animals. Each animal is dedicated to entire page of full color. Hanna explains why each is either wacky or weird. Included are what they eat, where they live and how big they grow. Some parts of the animals are magnified to point out something a little bit weird or different. This is definitely a keeper. It would be a great resource for kids too.

Included with the book is a short DVD. I enjoyed the animal bloopers but most of the DVD appeared to be like a home video instead of professional quality. My son loves America’s Funniest Videos and I was hoping for much more animal bloopers. Putting that aside, I still believe that the DVD was something extra and there were a few parts that were funny.

I would recommend this product for tutors, teachers, and students. It’s a fun book and different from others that I’ve seen. There is even a glossary at the end of the book for students to explain what some of the terms mean such as Tragelaphid, Nocturnal, and Brackish.

Jack has travelled to many places to find these wild, wacky and weird animals and it is nicely illustrated in this hardcover children’s book.
