Hele leuke, originele lijstjes, maar veel te vaak bleef ik op mijn honger zitten voor wat extra info. En om nu telkens te gaan googlen, daar had ik toch ook geen zin in...Fun, easy to read graphics. Probably took me less than 90 minutes of concentrated attentiveness. I read it while I was working a Scholastic book fair, and while waiting for my laptop to boot up.
Entertaining information on mythical beasts, cannibalism, different forms of marriage, the top cheese-eating countries, and hats. Very useful if you want to know what a doggie says in Russian ("hav-hav").
Amazing
If I had a coffee table, this is the kind of fun book I would have there- tons of quirky infographics listing the most random facts you can find.
What an awesome book! The pictures are quirky and gorgeous in their simplicity. The subjects are so unique and fun. Everytime I read this book, some member of my family seemed to be trying to find a way to get it out of my hands so they could read it. Part II please?
Definitely nice to read if you are in an airport or such. Makes the time fly way faster.
