So many useful facts， such as， the name of the Australian thoroughbred racehorse， "Horsey Mc Horseface"。 You just never know when you may want to weave that into a conversation！ So many useful facts， such as， the name of the Australian thoroughbred racehorse， "Horsey Mc Horseface"。 You just never know when you may want to weave that into a conversation！ 。。。more

Weird but True！ is a series by National Geographic。 It contains hundreds of random， fun facts along with great pictures and cool graphics。 I personally have the first book in the series， and I believe that these books would keep any student entertained and wanting to learn more and more。

I don't enjoy slamming books but this is everything I DON'T want to see in children's nonfiction。 It does not support critical thinking in any way， shape， or form， and presents "facts" without much substantiation。 For example， "A rainbow looks different to every person who sees it" （145）。 This may be a novelty to 6 or 7-year-old readers， but rather than spouting rapid-fire "didja know？" statements at its audience， this book should explain WHY a rainbow looks different to different people （if tha I don't enjoy slamming books but this is everything I DON'T want to see in children's nonfiction。 It does not support critical thinking in any way， shape， or form， and presents "facts" without much substantiation。 For example， "A rainbow looks different to every person who sees it" （145）。 This may be a novelty to 6 or 7-year-old readers， but rather than spouting rapid-fire "didja know？" statements at its audience， this book should explain WHY a rainbow looks different to different people （if that is， in fact， a scientific fact）。 Further， the book states that the world's longest beaver dam is as long as 60 school buses placed end-to-end。 Children should be encouraged to push further and ask deeper questions: how long IS a school bus？ Can't different buses be different sizes？ This book does not incourage such inquiry。 It's a rapid-fire explosion of "believe it or not" statements that have connection to the hard science behind them。 I'm disappointed to see the National Geographic seal on this， especially after the awesome publications I've seen from them as of late （NatGeo Little Kids magazine， for example）。 。。。more
