Can't wait to read about all the records,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guinness World Records 2005: Special 50th Anniversary Edition (Hardcover)
My daughter wanted to buy this book from Scholastic Books from her school but it was at a slightly higher price, and so I was happy to find it here at a cheaper price. It is a 287 page book, with glossy pages that have several photos on almost every page. For example page 184 is Language and Literature, and has such records as longest running comic, best selling cookbook, all time best selling book, longest poem, most common language....On that page there are 11 record catagories discussed and two photos. PRetty much the same pattern throughout the entire book. Their "chapters" are titled Human Beings, Natural World, Modern World, Material world, Feats of engineering, Science and Technology, Art and media, Music and entertainment and Sports. There are then subcategories for each chapter. It looks like a fun and easy read and although my 9 year old hasn't seen it yet, I know she will enjoy reading it and relaying record information to us. The cover is quite eyecatching and it is a nice, sturdy book. No regrets here on the purchase.

This review is from: Guinness World Records 2005: Special 50th Anniversary Edition (Hardcover)
My son's school has DEAR time daily (drop everything and read) and they can read any book from their reading box. This book cycled it's way to my son and he couldn't stop talking about it! Apparently the fourth graders beg to have this (and other record books) as one of their choices. Needless to say - I had to get him his own copy!
The book is almost 300 pages with fabulous pictures and some really unusual facts seperated into different categories covering all manner of records from sports to science. Perfect for skimming, or reading an entire category! Great for kids - and parents too!
