Mary Kingston, presenter with RTE's Disney Club, travels the world and brings us her Fantastic Far-Flung Facts for Fun. Her journey begins in Africa with fantastic facts about reptiles, including tortoises and chameleons, and animals such as lemurs and cheetahs. Then Mary whisks us through Asia where we meet the Asian elephant and the peoples of Bangladesh, Thailand, The Philippines and Cambodia. Finally we finish up in the deserts and rivers of South America, and the amazing islands of the Galapagos. Packed with photos, illustrations, maps and stories.
