These new Do You Know? books (2 new titles), originally published in Canada and translated from the French, are not your typical animal books. The main text, at the bottom of each page, does present interesting facts about each animal. Visually, though, the text is very much an afterthought. Most of each spread is taken up with vivid, graphic-novel-style cartoons, complete with speech bubbles. These illustrations do not provide extra information about the animals. Instead, they riff jokingly, and often bizarrely, on the facts on the page. For example, on a page in Owls about how these birds' binocular vision allows them to evaluate long distances, an owl caddy tells a golfer that his hole is "exactly 123 yards" away and hands him an 8 iron. These books may not be to everyone's taste, and they could be confusing for research if readers take the illustrations too literally. However, for readers who enjoy the lively illustrations and the offbeat humor, these books could be a fun and informative bridge from graphic novels and comics to nonfiction.
