Go big or go home! Meet the biggest weirdos on Earth in this colosally cool collection from the team that brought you Pink Is For Blobfish .

It's a big wide world, full of critters that are larger than life! Sure, there are the usual suspects: blue whales, polar bears, elephant seals .

but others will take you by surprise.

The giant snail, for instance, or the ginormous Atlas moth.

Like Pink Is for Blobfish and Cute as an Axolotl, Big as a Giant Snail will cover a wide variety of species, while subtly delving into misconceptions and stereotypes associated with size.

Best of all? These tall tales are totally true! About author(s): Jess Keating is a zoologist-turned-author who writes with the sort of wisdom you can only get from multiple crocodile bites and skunk sprays.

Jess has been making up stories for as long as she can remember, and at the age of eight, she even started a library in her room (mainly so she could charge her brother late fees).

She is also the author of the award winning biography Shark Lady and the graphic novel series Bonbon and Bun Bun .

She lives with her husband in Ontario, Canada, where she is hard at work on her next book.
