While You Were Sleeping (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)

<div>A fascinating compendium featuring over 70 unusual animal species. What's in a name?&nbsp;This lively, illustrated celebration is jam-packed with creatures notable for their bizarre, baffling, and just-plain-funny names.&nbsp; Meet the&nbsp;White-Bellied Go-Away Bird, whose cry sounds like someone screaming, "Go away!" Or the&nbsp;Aye-Aye, whose name means "I don't know" in Malagasy because no one wants anything to do with this bad-luck creature.&nbsp; Some are obvious, if still weird--gues what the&nbsp;Fried Egg Jellyfish&nbsp;looks like. Others sound like an inside joke: It's easy to figure out what was on the taxonomist's mind when he christened a fly he discovered&nbsp;Pieza Pie.&nbsp; Along the way you'll learn all about these curiously named animals' just-as-curious habits, appearances, and abilities.&nbsp;</div>
