    Synopsis

    How strange it is! Kids will go crazy over every wacky, sometimes icky, always entertaining fact in this brand-new Little Giant compilation. The topics range from food to customs, animals to history, nature to sports. For example, in Marostica, Italy, an immense chess board is built into the public square: the pawns and all the pieces are human beings, and the knights sit on real horses! Or how about this: Maine actually has a law that prohibits anyone from stepping out of a plane while it's in the air. From weird worms that stop island natives in their tracks to 4000 year old bathrooms with modern drainage systems, each tidbit of information is truly a treat.

    03/16/2009: I am a teacher, and this book is an awesome way to get the students engaged for a lesson. The facts (especially about animals) are so interesting. There are so many weird and unusual things to learn about in this book. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to find a book that is thrilling and you can't put down. The kids just kept begging for more.

    04/04/2007: This book contains a lot of cool and weird facts their a some things i did not like about it though. 1 there are to many boring stories that take up like 2 pages. There arent very many cool topics only 5 out of like 10 topics are good. And they need to add some more facts or make the book longer because once you skip through it you end up reading it in about 2 hours or less.
