Synopsis
This new addition to the popular Do You Know series tells young naturalists everything they ever wanted to know about rhinos.
Do you know?
The record for the longest horn is held by a white rhinoceros. Its horn was 1.66 metres (5.2 feet) long.
A broken horn will regrow in two to three years. Just like our nails and hair, a rhinoceros horn is made of keratin.
The rhinoceros is an endangered species. There are only about 8,000 individuals left in the world.

About the Author
Alain Bergeron is a Quebec writer born September 24, 1957. Before becoming a full-time youth author in the fall of 2005, he was a reporter for twenty years in Victoriaville. The least we can say is that he is a very prolific writer, with over 130 books! He writes for various youth age groups, and publishes between 15 and 20 titles a year.
Samuel Parent, pen name Sampar, was born in 1973 in Victoriaville, Quebec. He is a self-taught illustrator and cartoonist. He made his mark in recent years in the publishing world by being a winner of the New York Times top 10 illustrators of the year for 2014 and by being a finalist for the Governor General of Canada 2004 (Youth illustration). He has also been a Mr. Christie's Book Award 2002 finalist Awards, a favourite books Youth Communication-Jeunesse finalist, and a Hackmatack Award finalist in 2003 and 2004. Sampar's illustrations fascinate and capture the imagination of young and old alike. He is the father of three children and admits: "My dream is to make sure that my children can have something from me when they are old enough to be interested in reading."
Review
"Author Alain M. Bergeron has a passion for comics, and having a graphic novel element really sets the "Do You Know?" series apart from other animal fact books. Children will be attracted to the colourful illustrations and hilarious dialogue between the comical characters.
Highly Recommended."
