5.0 out of 5 starsGood Stuff
By Heather on February 13, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This arrived yesterday and my 9 year old son grabbed it and was reading it in bed when I went to tuck him in. He informed me that it wasn't Columbus who discovered the world was round--folks had figured that out long before, and it was Eratosthenes who, in the third century BC, calculated the circumference of the Earth within a few percentage points of the truth, extrapolating based on the length of shadows in different cities. Holy crap--I was smarter already, and I haven't even read the book.

Anyway, it's well laid out for a younger reader, contains fascinating information, and appears to go well beyond "trivia" to prompt thought including but not limited to scientific analysis, critical reasoning, and maybe even the value of mathematics. Not that your child should be aware of that unless you're a Tiger mom and are hitting them over the head with the "get ready for Harvard" mantra--normal folks can just take some delight that they're sneaking it all in via a fun read.

Nice work, Ken Jennings!

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for elementary students!
By MBHK on September 30, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A really fun book. My son is learning so much, and so am I! The coded key for answers is great. My son came up with his own little code after reading it. It's written in a very engaging way. These books should be required in elementary classrooms.

5.0 out of 5 starsKeN Jennings Hits Another Home Run Dashing Through the Bases of Geography
By amazon addict on January 12, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Another amazing read for my ESL tutee and me. The Junior Genius Guide on MAPS AND GEOGRAPHY is fascinating and funny: a combination that makes reading fun.

Diego will really enjoy this book about the wonderful places around the world and its fascinating landmarks. There is a section on the United States and oddly-named towns in it. Diego will laugh when he reads that part.

This is a great book to interest a child on geography and keep him interested.

By Sara Zubeckis on May 20, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Our grandson, 10 years old, read this book and learned a lot. He asked questions such as, What president had no formal education? How many presidents are still alive? How many presidents were killed in office? We were impressed.

By Jennifer G on December 14, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Love these books! Read to my 8 year old. There are definitely some concepts above his knowledge level but love all the stories and knowledge gained from reading this. Ken Jennings shares insight along the way with facts. He adds humorous and quirky stories that would hold a child's interest. Love these books.
