I have to say that this book was equally intriguing to both myself and my nine-year old son. Whatever your age, if you're a fan of facts, figures, and obscure knowledge such as the world's most deadly amphibian or the world's richest woman, the SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS 2007 is most definitely the book for you!
