Mitchell Symons
About Author
Mitchell Symons was born in 1957 in London and educated at Mill Hill School and the LSE, where he studied. Since leaving BBC TV, where he was a researcher and then a director, he has worked as a writer, broadcaster and journalist. He was a principal writer of early editions of the board game Trivial Pursuit and has devised many television formats. He also writes a weekly column for the Sunday Express.
His first childrens book, How To Avoid A Wombat's Bum, was published in October 2006. It is the ultimate trivia books for kids, filled with fantastic facts and figures to amaze and intrigue.
Mitchell's next book, How Eating Bogey's Is Good For You, published in October 2007, follows in the same inquisitive style as How to Avoid a Wombat's Bum. Have you ever wondered why we have tonsils? Is there any cream in cream crackers? Why is the sea blue? And if kangaroos keep their babies in their pouches, what happens to all the poo?!
Mitch Symons answers all these crazy questions and plenty more in this wonderfully funny and addictive book.
How Much Poo Does an Elephant Do? was published in October 2008. Did you know that squirrels can't see the colour red? That Walt Disney, the creator of Mickey Mouse, was afraid of mice? That only 30% of humans can flare their nostrils? Or that every year the average person eats 438 bugs by mistake? This book is a further compendium of funny, fascinating, jaw-dropping, eyebrow-raising trivia from Mitchell Symons.
