"Great for Questioning Yourself or the Family",
By
This review is from: Big Book of American Trivia (Big Book of Series) (Paperback)
I had a wonderful time just browsing through playing trivia as a soloist. Although, when I found myself involved with others the true colors of this wonderful trivia book began to shine. This book is excellent for anyone who has a fervour for good American History. You will come to find just how much you really know about the state your from or live in today. I was suprised at some of the things I was not aware of. So why not learn a little , while having a lot of fun?

Fun Book, Great for Car Trips,
By J Larid "Jon" (Springfield, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Big Book of American Trivia (Big Book of Series) (Paperback)
Call me old-fashioned, but we don't have a TV in our van, so our kids have to actually converse or play games on the road, and this book saw us through a long trip this summer around Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The thing that makes the book fun is that it is (pardon the pun) all over the map, with series of questions about entertainment, politics, geography, food and drink, others too numerous to list. My kids and I just enjoyed skipping around from one section to another, quizzing each other. Whenever we crossed a state line we went to the section of the book that has a set of 20 questions for each state, which is a neat feature.
