Some very interesting stuff in here。 I learned quite a bit of useless trivia。 One might rather entitle this "4，000 Facts and 1，000 Fictions，" though。 Some very interesting stuff in here。 I learned quite a bit of useless trivia。 One might rather entitle this "4，000 Facts and 1，000 Fictions，" though。 。。。more

This book provides captivating snippets of information， but the format could be better， for it seems extremely arduous to read a page in one go。

What a fantastic book this is！ And it's not just for kids。 I love the format-each page， or two-page spread， is a different subject。 The photos are fantastic and some of the facts are just too dang funny。 Really quite a great way to learn something new。 What a fantastic book this is！ And it's not just for kids。 I love the format-each page， or two-page spread， is a different subject。 The photos are fantastic and some of the facts are just too dang funny。 Really quite a great way to learn something new。 。。。more

Let this book fall open to any page， let your eye fall upon any item on that page， and I defy you not to find something surprising， hilarious， and informative or all three at once。 Page 50-51， for example， "35 Awesome Facts about Australia & Oceania:" 27， More kangaroos live in Australia than people。Page 174-5， "35 Fascinating Facts About the Future:" 18， Ask for a reading lamp in the near future and poof！--a holographic light bulb will appear above your head。 （And I for one can't wait。）Page 152 Let this book fall open to any page， let your eye fall upon any item on that page， and I defy you not to find something surprising， hilarious， and informative or all three at once。 Page 50-51， for example， "35 Awesome Facts about Australia & Oceania:" 27， More kangaroos live in Australia than people。Page 174-5， "35 Fascinating Facts About the Future:" 18， Ask for a reading lamp in the near future and poof！--a holographic light bulb will appear above your head。 （And I for one can't wait。）Page 152， "100 Marvelous Mammal Facts:" 20， A beaver's eyelids are transparent so it can see as it swims underwater。Page 110-1， "50 Facts that will be Music to your Ears:" 4， Archaeologist can still play ancient flutes made from animal bones that are between 7，000 and 9，000 years old。" and 33， Macaque monkeys and chimpanzees will sometimes drum on dead trees。"Page 62-3， "35 Facts about Women who made History:" 13， Nearly 2，000 years ago， sisters Trung Trac and Trung Nhi led vietnamese forces in a rebellion against Chinese rulers， capturing dozens of forts over several years。" and 24， Mary Anderson invented windshield wipers in 1903 after watching New York City drivers crane their necks out their windows to see in the rain。"I could go on but you get the idea。 Imagine a kid on your lap and this book in his or hers。 Neither one of you would ever get to sleep 。。。more

“One day， Laptops will roll up like a Yoga Mat” （pg 24）。 In this edition of National Geographic kids， you can learn 5，000 facts about any and everything。 From fact about the future to facts about prehistoric times， there is no subject uncovered。 I give 5，000 Awesome Facts （about everything） 2 stars。 The title is correct when it says that there are 5，000 facts but exaggerated the “awesome” part of it。 Using the term “awesome” sets the reader up to only let them down within the first couple pages。 “One day， Laptops will roll up like a Yoga Mat” （pg 24）。 In this edition of National Geographic kids， you can learn 5，000 facts about any and everything。 From fact about the future to facts about prehistoric times， there is no subject uncovered。 I give 5，000 Awesome Facts （about everything） 2 stars。 The title is correct when it says that there are 5，000 facts but exaggerated the “awesome” part of it。 Using the term “awesome” sets the reader up to only let them down within the first couple pages。 I was totally on board after learning that peanut butter doesn't actually have butter as one of its ingredients but was let down once they introduced the topic of aliens。 One of the facts mentioned scientist making a website for aliens to contact them but only ended up receiving hoax messages。 What about that fact is so “awesome” or even important to include in this book？ Certain pages were just overwhelming to read。 On pages that featured 100 facts failed to feature anything more than 10 point font facts， a title and a generic picture that served no purpose。 The picture wasn't labeled， it wasn't a graph I can analyze and probably had been used in several other National Geographic books/magazines。 Other pages had extreme backgrounds that took away from the information featured and the information spread across it didn't allow me to clearly see the picture。 Overall， about 60% of this book gets my approval and fits my expectations of informational books。A book with so many facts， and so many topics， only makes me think of one purpose in the classroom。 Because I don't like this book’s images I will only share the random， and important facts I have seen throughout the book。 The fact I shared earlier about the future of laptops can yield a discussion about the future and maybe a creative project on future inventions。 The alien fact， is not something I deem as important and will not share it with my class。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This non-fiction book could not be a better was to get kids to read without the pressure of "big book"structures and maybe even long paragraphs。 This book can be read by young kids starting probably in 1st grade and up。 It is a fun book that has visuals and it gives random facts you would never know about。 It is interesting to read these books with children because of a lot of the facts are things they are finding out for the first time and it can be fascinating。 This non-fiction book could not be a better was to get kids to read without the pressure of "big book"structures and maybe even long paragraphs。 This book can be read by young kids starting probably in 1st grade and up。 It is a fun book that has visuals and it gives random facts you would never know about。 It is interesting to read these books with children because of a lot of the facts are things they are finding out for the first time and it can be fascinating。 。。。more

I give this book 5 stars because it had a lot of information and facts that I didn't know of before。 I would recommend this book to people of ages 10+ because it has some big vocabulary in it for older people。 Other than that I find this book to be very entertaining and informative and I would most definitely recommend this book。 I give this book 5 stars because it had a lot of information and facts that I didn't know of before。 I would recommend this book to people of ages 10+ because it has some big vocabulary in it for older people。 Other than that I find this book to be very entertaining and informative and I would most definitely recommend this book。 。。。more

Here’s a book that will rival the Guinness Book of World Records in popularity。 It is filled with fun and interesting facts on all sorts of topics of interest to kids。 Each two-page spread is filled with a bounty of facts loosely related by a theme。 From animals （zebras’ stripes make it hard for predators to pick out a single animal） to world leaders （Queen Victoria popularized white wedding gowns）， from inventions （an iPad-like computer was first invented in 1968） to geography （Prince William’s Here’s a book that will rival the Guinness Book of World Records in popularity。 It is filled with fun and interesting facts on all sorts of topics of interest to kids。 Each two-page spread is filled with a bounty of facts loosely related by a theme。 From animals （zebras’ stripes make it hard for predators to pick out a single animal） to world leaders （Queen Victoria popularized white wedding gowns）， from inventions （an iPad-like computer was first invented in 1968） to geography （Prince William’s university degree is in geography）， from architecture （a professional skateboarder designed a completely rounded， skateboard-able home， including cabinets and furniture） to movies （Japan’s movie goers like to snack on baked fish skeletons， covered with soy and sugar）—there is definitely a fact or more to amaze， gross out， humor， or tantalize each reader。 The number of facts within a category range from 15 to 100。 The book’s designers have come up with a myriad of ways to display the facts， with some clear， colorful photos interspersed on each spread; pages with more than 50 are text heavy and a challenge to read。 A fact ticker along the bottom of each page lets readers know how many facts they have learned as they progress through the pages。 ‘15 Final Facts about Endings’ close out the book， with the final fact pronouncing it would take an adult reading 250 words per minute about 400 minutes to read the book cover to cover！ Parents or other adults will enjoy sharing this with the school-age children in their lives。 Reading it together could well lead to some lively conversation or further research。 Kids will proudly spout these newly learned facts to all who will listen。 。。。more
