Jillian G, Reviewer
I was really hoping that this book was about the sploots that animals do and I could not have been more happy with this one
First of all, we get lots of good sploots in like excellent sploots all 11/10
We then learned that splooting is something that animals do when they are feeling hot and need to cool down.
I loved that this book had actual conflict and wonderful animal facts in it while also covering the wonderful sploot.
Thank you so much for this ARC! I appreciate the opportunity to leave honest feedback voluntarily.
