4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Kids., November 14, 2010

This review is from: Ripley's Believe It or Not!: Special Edition 2011 (Hardcover)

If you are expecting something like Guinness World Records, do not buy this book. Ripley's Believe It or Not! is not a record book, but just a book about amazing and incredible things. The book is formatted in a way that you can just flip to any page and start reading. I would recommend this book for younger audiences, as most of the book is pictures. I am skeptical to believe some of the "facts" in this book, as with prior knowledge I know some of these aren't true, and I doubt the researchers really did their research. But this book is aimed towards kids, and my children enjoyed it.

I get the yearly edition of Ripley's Believe It ot Not for my great-grandson every year for Christmas and he has learned to read using these books. These books are fascinating for young and old alike. There are so many amazing and unusual listings that make up these yearly updates that you never get tired of reading them. A wonderful way to get young children interested in reading.
