Just Like Me
Camp might be just what Julia needs
Who eats Cheetos with chopsticks? Avery and Becca, my “Chinese Sisters,” that’s who. We’re not really sisters — we were just adopted from the same orphanage. And we’re nothing alike. They sing Chinese love songs on the bus to summer camp, and I pretend like I don’t know them. Hardcover | Kindle book

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating, Accurate, and Fun for all ages!
By Wilson Warmack on July 2, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am a huge advocate of learning and of trivia. Recently I have been on a US Presidents kick, buying up and reading many different books from different authors on the Presidents of the United States. In the last 2 months I have gone through 8 of the best selling US President trivia books and this one was by far my favorite.

It is difficult to write a trivia book because the author has to strike a balance between being brief (including what is important or interesting) and being too thorough (bordering on dry mundane details). More than any of the other trivia books on US Presidents that I read, Ken Jennings does an excellent job of covering his subject in a way that is interesting and fun while still imparting a substantial amount of knowledge. Even though the writing is clearly intended for a young audience (Junior Genius Guide) the content that is presented was still very interesting and engaging for an adult reader. One of the most enjoyable things about trivia is sharing it with others and this book had more moments where I paused to share an interesting or hilarious tidbit of information with my family than any of the other US President trivia books. The other major category where this book stands out is in accuracy. In covering 43 Presidents over 230+ years I have found mistakes in every single Presidential trivia book EXCEPT for this one. Probably because the author actually knows his material better than any of the other authors who rely on editors or historians to fact check.

Based on how much I enjoyed this book I have gone on and ordered all of his other Junior Genius Guides published to date. One day I look forward to sharing these with my kids as a way to encourage a love of learning. I can't wait to see more in this series. I only hope they all live up to the level of expectations set by this one!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat information
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Fun Experience
By williambahrt on February 16, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book is filled with trivia stated in a way that keeps you coming back for more. Every turn of the page brings some facts that I had never heard before. I was sorry when I finished the book. Fortunately, for me, I have three more of Ken's books to keep me off the streets at night. This would be a good book for kids who would rather text than read. This book will hold the reader's interest.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is great for kids interested in history
By J. Kahn on January 15, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is great for kids interested in history. There are several presidential trivia books out there, but this is the only one of its kind that is factually correct. The others seemed to have been researched on wikipedia or something as they are full of popular misconceptions.

5.0 out of 5 starsFun and interesting for kids
By JimFNB on May 19, 2015
Format: Paperback
All 3 of my kids -- ages 13, 11, and 8 -- love this series of books. In fact they argue about who's turn it is to read them. Ken strikes just the right tone for this age group -- clever, funny and very interesting without condescension or preaching. It actually took my guys a little time to catch on because they knew these were educational books in disguise, but once they started they didn't want to stop. This particular book was probably my kids' favorite -- I think because presidents have done a lot of wacky and surprising things that they didn't expect, and Ken's telling of history is hilarious.

My kids have really, really enjoyed these. They devoured them the first day they got them--and I will definitely pick up all of them that come out. Ken Jennings other books have all been engaging and highly interesting--these are no different!

My 9 year old daughter loves this book. She has always been an avid reader. I think its educational value is worth the price. There are so many interesting facts and details that she now knows about the presidents.
