5, 000 Awesome Facts (About Everything!)

This book is literally busting its covers with fascinating, fun-tastic facts on super, sensational topics that kids love. Who knew that there were so many sweet things to learn about chocolate or that a dozen delicious details about peanut butter would show up on a page with a few splotches of jelly to whet our appetites? Keep turning and a terrifyingly toothy shark tells you all about himself, while other spreads lay out tons of tips on toys and games, mysteries of history, robots and reptiles, sports and spies and wacky words. A visual feast of colorful photographs surrounded by swirling, tipping, expanding, and climbing bits of information in a high-energy design, this book will satisfy both the casual browser and the truly fact obsessed.

This book is a gem.  It is bursting with fun facts and figures about everything and anything you can imagine.  The pictures are bright and colorful and sure to keep your children flipping along.  My children loved all the fun facts about animals.  Did you know bats make up about a quarter of the entire mammal population (ewwww!!) or that hippos mark their territory by yawning?  My children delighted in learning all these fun facts and loved sharing their new knowledge with everyone they came in contact with.  This book is a great way for children to learn more about the world we live in.  Pick up your copy today on Amazon....
