My 7-year-old son has both 5,000 Awesome Facts and Ultimate Weird But True, and he loves them both--he's crazy for facts. The books are completely different from one another and both fantastic. 5,000 Awesome Facts About Everything is just that. It has facts on flight, pets, food, space junk, movies, Australia, and more and more. There's a fact ticker, so you can count up the facts as you go. My son really loved the facts on spies, especially the one about Perry the Platypus.
Ultimate Weird But True is about weird things--wacky hotels, weird looking animals, weird weather, weird inventions, stuff like that. We all love the pampered pet pictures.
My 9-year-old daughter likes both books also (as homework distractors!)
Both books are great fact and photo books, but not the same like the other reviewer said. No overlap that I saw. We'll definitely get the next one of these that comes out!

In this day and age when you can't get most 10-year-olds to step away from the video games, 5,000 Awesome Facts is a rare gem. My kids are actually fighting over the book! Their aunt gave them this on Friday and they've been consumed by it ever since. Even my son who would normally rather go to the dentist than read. Well done, NG Kids. I can't wait to check out Ultimate Weird But True!

Nice, not great
My kids liked it very much, but didn't love it though. In my opinion, some pages have too much text with few illustration or pictures.
