5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Book!, May 19, 2010
This review is from: Weird But True: 300 Outrageous Facts (National Geographic Kids) (Paperback)
My son chose this book himself at his school book fair. For the last few days, this book has been his constant companion -- and I understand why. The weird but true facts in the book are funnny, interesting, thought provoking, and presented in a dynamic manner with excellent illustrations. My son likes the book very very much, has memorized several of 300 weird but true facts. In fact, we have agreed to give the book away as a gift to several other children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gross but fascinating, July 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Weird But True: 300 Outrageous Facts (National Geographic Kids) (Paperback)
This is not a book with a plot or anything -- just a list of random weird facts. But my 9 year old finds it FANTASTIC and has read it several times including many of them he insists on reading out loud to us! :)

My son kept us entertained all day Easter Sunday with this gift. We had to take it away during Easter dinner so we could talk about something else!
