National Geographic's Weird But True is a collection of fun facts compromised in a single pocket-sized book。 This book also contains fun and colorful graphics that go along with each fact。 The series comprises 12 books， which contain over 1000 crazy facts。 Although a great read， today's generation of 6 to 8-year-olds may find these books irrelevant because these facts are easily found with a click of a button。 There are thousands of websites where fun facts are posted for free。 Although it might National Geographic's Weird But True is a collection of fun facts compromised in a single pocket-sized book。 This book also contains fun and colorful graphics that go along with each fact。 The series comprises 12 books， which contain over 1000 crazy facts。 Although a great read， today's generation of 6 to 8-year-olds may find these books irrelevant because these facts are easily found with a click of a button。 There are thousands of websites where fun facts are posted for free。 Although it might be cool to know that “a group of giraffes is called a tower” there is no need to pay 7 dollars for something you could get for free。 - Kiran Thomman， 10th grade 。。。more

Love these books！ There so much fun！ Great illustrations and fascinating facts。 *Your brain makes up only 2 percent on your total body weight but uses up to 20% of your body's energy。 *One study found the longer you sleep the stranger your dreams become。 *The first steam locomotive made in the US lost a race to a horse。 *One volcano in Indonesia burns with electric-blue flames。 *About one-quarter of the world's hazelnut supply is used in Nutella。 Love these books！ There so much fun！ Great illustrations and fascinating facts。 *Your brain makes up only 2 percent on your total body weight but uses up to 20% of your body's energy。 *One study found the longer you sleep the stranger your dreams become。 *The first steam locomotive made in the US lost a race to a horse。 *One volcano in Indonesia burns with electric-blue flames。 *About one-quarter of the world's hazelnut supply is used in Nutella。 。。。more

Weird but true 7***I give this book a 3-star rating because I really liked most of the facts but some I felt some of them were either fake or they were just boring。 But overall I think it was a decent book。This was a very good book。 It included tons of facts and was extremely interesting to read。 Some of the facts listed where that “On average the Empire State Building in New York City is hit by lightning 25 times a year。” And did you know that “some frogs have green bones。” Well after reading t Weird but true 7***I give this book a 3-star rating because I really liked most of the facts but some I felt some of them were either fake or they were just boring。 But overall I think it was a decent book。This was a very good book。 It included tons of facts and was extremely interesting to read。 Some of the facts listed where that “On average the Empire State Building in New York City is hit by lightning 25 times a year。” And did you know that “some frogs have green bones。” Well after reading this book you will know lots of amazing new facts。 I recommend this book for anybody because anyone can learn something new。 This book has no theme。 。。。more

Maidie: I like the facts。 They’re interesting and give you knowledge。 I like to say triskaidekaphobia。 It’s fun to say， and it’s weird that people have a fear of the number 13。 Not Maidie: triskaidekaphobia has been my favorite word for years。 Maidie is right。。。 it’s fun to say！

Books such as this one fascinate me！ I believe children will love it。。。and adults who enjoy learning new tidbits will probably like it， too。

I like to learn new things even if it’s only little tidbits of random knowledge here and there。 Let me share some of the interesting things I learned from this children's book:Some frogs have green bones。More American cash is spent outside the United States than inside its borders。The arches of a McDonald’s in Sedona， Arizona are turquoise instead of yellow。 Albert Einstein’s eyeballs are kept in a safe-deposit box in New York City。Camels are born without humps。Grasshopper Glacier in Montana con I like to learn new things even if it’s only little tidbits of random knowledge here and there。 Let me share some of the interesting things I learned from this children's book:Some frogs have green bones。More American cash is spent outside the United States than inside its borders。The arches of a McDonald’s in Sedona， Arizona are turquoise instead of yellow。 Albert Einstein’s eyeballs are kept in a safe-deposit box in New York City。Camels are born without humps。Grasshopper Glacier in Montana contains layers of grasshoppers preserved in ice。A group of sharks is called a shiver。If you also enjoy learning random， obscure facts and perhaps hope to gain the upper hand in trivia games， then you’ll find the interesting and unusual facts collected in this volume to be a fun read。 。。。more

I think that this book was really interesting because because it has some facts in there that you almost can’t believe。 Some of them are really funny and gross but over all I think that adding a little more detail and facts about why some of the things are like that。 For example， why do frogs have green bones or why a certain ice cream turns into a different flavor when you like it etc。 Overall I think that the book and its really mind blowing facts were pretty realistic？

Most of the facts were super interesting。 In fact， there were several facts that I didn't know。 For example， a pencil has enough lead to draw a 35-mile line！ However， most of the pictures were surrounded by clip art。 I would have preferred to see pictures that corresponded with each fact--like the English house that was built out of forks， jeans， and other trash。The book also didn't have a reference section where the reader can verify facts。 This may not be a problem for elementary aged children Most of the facts were super interesting。 In fact， there were several facts that I didn't know。 For example， a pencil has enough lead to draw a 35-mile line！ However， most of the pictures were surrounded by clip art。 I would have preferred to see pictures that corresponded with each fact--like the English house that was built out of forks， jeans， and other trash。The book also didn't have a reference section where the reader can verify facts。 This may not be a problem for elementary aged children， but it is a problem for older kids， adults， and educators。 Finally， I'd loved if the author further elaborated on some of the facts。 For example， the book says that one kind of mushroom resembles the human brain。 What kind？ All-in-all， though， a good read。 。。。more
