George LOVES facts. Here are some of his favourites.
....

Butterflies taste their food with their feet. George said he tried that once and had to wash mashed potatoes from between his toes for days afterwards.
Butterflies DON'T spin cocoons. Moths do. Butterflies come out of a chrysalis. George said he wouldn't mind living in a chrysalis, except there are no windows. He likes the idea of having a chrysalis to hide in when his Mum calls him to help with the dishes.
Butterflies can only see three colours. Red, green & yellow

The famous Australian artist, Normal Lindsay, wrote "The Magic Pudding" to prove to a friend that children would read a story that didn't only have fairies in it. George says he'd rather read about puddings than fairies any day.
George also told me about another famous artist who made children's books. Her name was Beatrix Potter, and she wrote and drew the "Peter Rabbit" stories.
Don't you think she has an amaaazing imagination? I do.

The moon is over six BILLION years old. That's a HUGE number. That must make the man in the moon six billion year's old, too. I wonder how old the woman in the moon is? George says she's probably as old as the man.
When the earth's shadow covers a full moon, the moon completely vanishes for a while. George says that's called a LUNAR ECLIPSE. And when the moon gets in between the earth and the sun, it blocks it out. That's called a SOLAR eclipse.

There are 193 countries on the earth, and 5 oceans. George says that one day he'd like to sail on a boat from the Pacific to the Atlantic to the Arctic to the Indian and then to the Southern Oceans. I think he'd get dizzy.
George says a racehorse (like Black Thunder) can run as fast as 64 kilometres per hour. Which is the same as 40 miles per hour! Wow! That's fast!
Oh, and George has another amazing moon fact which he says is reallly a number fact. It would take 135 days to drive to the moon in a car. But... Where's the road? Hey! I know. I can draw one with my wonder pen. Gotta go find some paper!
