This book is a feast both for children who devour books and for those children who like to read in small bites. The book synthesizes information on myriad topics in a way that is fun and accessible whether you read it cover to cover or peruse it at bedtime. My daughter enjoyed it so much we bought a copy for her fifth-grade class -- and there is regularly a crowd of curious kids sharing it at recess! And it is not just for kids, as her teacher loves it, too! It is a great tool to develop a child's natural love of learning and reading.

This is a great bathroom book, because you can read a list here or there, and then pick it up again later. Lots of fun, interesting factoids. Found one error though...on page 219 is a list of Cartoon Families, and it lists the Jetson Family as "George, Wilma, Judy and Elroy." but EVERYONE knows (well, everyone over 35!) that George's wife is JANE Jetson, as in "Jane, his wife," from the them song. And, of course, don't forget Astro, their dog. Unless Fred and Wilma, and George and Jane both got divorces, and then Wilma married George and I never heard about it? Naaaaah. Cute book.

I ordered a book from BookCapitol in new condition. The book arrived in used condition. I emailed BookCapitol through Amazon, asking them how they suggest that we rectify this situation. In 2 weeks, I have not received their response. Draw your own conclusions.

This book is amazing! They thought of about every kind of list that you would ever want! I have learned so many new facts from reading this book! It is an incredible book for all ages! It is a great book if you need homework help or just want to learn something new! I would definately recommend this book for children and adults! It is definately worth the price!
