The fifth volume in the ludicrously misinformative HOW Series.
For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and
worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar pretenders would
find the means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children
but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be
distributed through respectable channels and would inevitably find their
way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go
to them for facts but instead find bizarre untruths. The books would
look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who should at
all costs be denied access to pens and pencils.
Sadly, with the publication of this, the fifth volume in a proposed
series of 377 reference books, that day has come. Children and the
Tundra is actually two books in one, as Dr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, due
to space constraints, is forced to explain both the concept of
children?a species she doesn't trust for a second?and the tundra, in one
book. She is, as always, joined in her crusade of lies by her husband,
Benny, who is mostly useless.
