4.0 out of 5 stars Our school library can't keep it on the shelf!, November 30, 2008

Our elementary school library has over 11,000 books on its shelves, and I can't seem to keep this book on the shelf --- ever! I purchased two copies, and the students have already lined up to reserve their place for the book. It even has the "spillover effect" of making the earlier editions (2008, 2007, 2006, etc.) almost as popular!

I suppose I should buy one more copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for elementary school children, January 19, 2009

This is the third year we have purchased this book for my son who is now 9 years old. He reads it ALL year long and it's dog-eared by the end of the year! When he was 6 we had to read it to him for the most part, but now he reads it on his own.

I have a 7 year old daughter who loves the Guinness Book of World Records original version; however, if you want to avoid explaining why people get breast implants then this version is for you!
