This book will teach you a lot! The Encyclopedia of Unbelievable Facts

With 500 perplexing questions to BAMBOOZLE your friends!

by Jane Wilsher

I like the cover of this book with its hints of some of the topics that will be found inside. The facts are divided into a number of categories. These include Human Body; Science and Tech; Animals; Natural World; Space; Mindbending Stuff; History; Customs and Cultures; Our World; Arts and Entertainment; and Jargon Buster.

This book can be read in any order or just by opening a page at random. It could be fun to read alone or to read with others. However a child chooses to look at this book, they will find a lot to fascinate them. Just some of the questions include:

How old were you when your fingerprints developed?

What’s a borygmus?

Which British scientist suffered from seasickness?

What year was the first email sent?

Which creatures can nap for three years?

Were there any women pirates?

What is one of the oldest musical instruments? and so many, many more.

This book seems perfect as a gift for a summer read. Give it to a child you know.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
