Catherine McRae: Big hit for my 7 year old grandson - he's curious, a good reader and loved the interesting facts! Created some parent/child discussion as they looked up/googled more information once reading the "fact".

sanjay chatterjee: Nice book for kids ,at home or as a gift

Parkie: This is a good book in lots of ways - its really interesting (did you know that peanut butter can be made into diamonds?!) but also its easy format is great for younger readers who have a short attention span or reluctant older readers - it doesn't feel like you're reading, it feels like you are being amazed by every page by brilliant facts. My daughter (7) who loves reading fiction books loves this, but so does my 11 year old son who does not like reading at all.

Yogamom67: My son loves these books. We started reading National Geographic Kids books when he was about six (he's nine now) and I can honestly say that these books have been instrumental in teaching him to read. His favorites are those from the "Weird, But True" series. We own the first five books in the series and have the ones not yet published on pre-order.

One weekend last spring, our son actually read one entire 300 pg. book from this series to my husband and I over the course of two days - 50 pg.s three times a day until he'd finished. I mention this because last year my son was sent to a reading specialist because his teacher was concerned that he was reading below his age-level. Although I was happy for him to receive the extra attention from the specialist, I always doubted that he had any real problems reading because he read the Nat'l Geo books to us constantly. Thankfully, I was right. He no longer sees the reading specialist, reads above his grade-level, and even reads out-loud to his classmates at lunchtime.

Why is this so important? Because kids are often labeled as poor readers when it's not that they can't read, but rather that they simply aren't interested in...

Mrs. Gail Cooper: I bought this to encourage my 2 children (aged 10 and 12) to read some books. This was a real hit, they have both read it all the way through and were even reading out bits to myself and their dad. Will be getting the rest in the series. For me, I read it really quickly but did find out some interesting facts. The pages are written in a fun style with colourful writing and different fonts for each fact.

United Kingdom on Sep 26, 2012

P. Kingsriter: This is a rare case of "you CAN judge a book by its cover". Every fact presented in this entertaining and fascinating book IS weird and true. Many pages will leave the reader shaking their heads saying things like, "No way..." or just "Whoa," often wanting to learn more about the amazing statement. One often wishes there was accompanying explanations for the astounding facts, but that'll just have to be research for another day.

There are a few facts per full-color page and the graphics and design are engaging but not distracting. There are a couple of facts more gentle readers might find "gross", but they'll be largely palatable for the average elementary schooler's curious mind.

If you've got a budding explorer, scientist, adventurer, or trivia buff, this would be an excellent and entertaining way to perk their curiosity.
