Review by Kirkus Book Review

What is arachibutyrophobia? Does it have something to do with needles, spiders, or peanut butter? We have an answer for that! Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night wondering where the rainiest place on Earth is? (It's in India, by the way.) Did you ever think about cleaning your shoes or your hands with a banana peel? Well, now you might. Maybe you wonder whether you're drinking the same water as a Tyrannosaurus rex? Filled with off-the-wall musings followed by clear answers presented in a way that even very young readers can grasp, everyone in the family will get a kick out of exploring these fun facts. Each question is introduced on a full page with eye-catching, full-color graphics. When readers turn the page, they encounter a short, basic answer along with more in-depth information and explanation and, often, additional related facts. The book is laid out in a fun and attractive format that allows kids to feel like they are breezing through it, making it ideal for reluctant or struggling readers. The subject matter covered includes outer space, sports, geology, history, human anatomy, and more. Perennially popular topics such as ancient Egypt, domestic animals, and extreme weather give this broad appeal. An appealing, accessible book for kids who enjoy trivia and learning new things.
