The smartest, the cutest – animal records from A to Z
Which animal has the heaviest tongue? Builds the smallest nest? Has the most eye-watering smell? This illustrated book answers these and many more as yet unasked questions in entertaining and witty verse.
After At Night, When the Hamster Awakes, duo Iris Schürmann Mock and Mareike Engelke now take a look at the somewhat unusual record-holders in the animal kingdom. From the oldest creature, the sponge, to the dragonfly, which looks at the world through more eyes than any other animal. But in the end: Animals are always special, centipede or porcupine. And the one I love the most will always be the one that’s mine.
Iris Schürmann-Mock was born in Duisburg in 1947. After studying journalism, German and sociology, she worked as a journalist for many years. In 1982, with Gabriela Wenke, she founded the magazine Eselsohr for children’s and youth media. Since 1996, Iris Schürmann-Mock has worked as a freelance author and travel journalist.
