Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Did you know that the world's top meat-eating country is the United States? Or that the world's most-cited author is William Shakespeare? And that the world's coldest inhabited place, with an average temperature of 12.4 degrees Fahrenheit, is Norilsk, in central Russia? No one is so popular at a slumber party as the one with all the trivia about the biggest, most, oldest, fastest, and smallest. With its more than 600 full-color photos and graphics, brief, interesting text for each entry, handy, color-coded organizing tabs, and fascinating comparison charts, the Scholastic Book of World Records will be a guaranteed winner with kids. In addition to being a valuable resource for schoolwork--with facts about animals, plants, transportation, the universe, foreign countries, and money--the book is thoroughly entertaining. (Ages 8 and older) --Emilie Coulter

Product Description
Whether kids need to know the lowest recorded temperature, the oldest living thing, the birthplace of the most U.S. presidents, or the longest space mission, they'll find the answers in the SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Review by Martin Ma from class 506, February 11, 2004
By A Customer
Do you want to know who hit the most home runs back in 1952 to 1976? Well if you read this book it will tell you. There is more information included like nature, sports, popular culture, money, technology, and the solar system too. There is a record for the 50 United States Of America. (For example, the state that the has most alligators is Louisiana). Find out more information on the fastest plane, fastest land vehicles, and so much more.

I read this book cover to cover [beginning to end] over 10 times or maybe 15 times. I really prefer this book because all the facts are fascinating to read. First I could never keep my eyes of the book because it has many amazing details. Why do I never put down this book? Good question. Because details hold the story together like tape is holding together a broken toy. I know that in this book there are sections of knowledge. For example, what if you are doing a trivia contest, this book will give you questions and answers.

The part that I liked the most was that the good examples about the richest man, or the richest woman, or the team that won the most World Series, or the world's best selling recording group, or world's best selling album.

Well, I recomend this book to 4th through 6th graders because they need knowledge for their future in school. They might need the Scholastic Book of World Records for a report. Well if you are into studying cool facts this book could be a wonderful and superior read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, September 27, 2007
The SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS is back, this time with new and updated records for 2008.

This interesting and resourceful reference guide is divided into seven main categories:

Sports Records
Human-Made Records
Nature Records
Popular Culture Records
Money and Business Records
Science Records
U.S. Records

Filled with both interesting (the world's fastest land bird -- the ostrich) and obscure (the country that drinks the most bottled water -- Italy), there's something here for everyone.

This would make a great addition for home or school libraries. Highly recommended!
