I thought this book was just so cool. I am a sucker for trivia and unusual facts, so this book was right up my alley. The pages are brightly colored, and each page is accompanied by a really cute illustration, so it was really fun to read. Even though this book is not all that long and does not contain all that much text, I still was not able to sit down and read it all at once. I think I started to suffer from fact overload.

Here's a fun, colorful book of odd facts that is sure to stimulate discussion.

LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is a collection of interesting, although fairly useless, facts. It is the type of book that could be picked up casually and read in a random fashion; however, once a reader gets a peek at just a few of the unique facts, it will be difficult to put this one down.

Here are a few samples to whet your appetite:

"Staying awake for show more two weeks can kill you."
"Ferrets can suffer from depression."
"Originally brides carried flowers to mask body odor."
"The longest carrot was nearly 20 feet long."

The facts are printed on lively colored pages and include simple but appropriate illustrations. This book is perfect to motivate reluctant readers. Simply hand them this book and you'll "catch" them reading before they realize what they're doing. LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is also a great gift for the trivia buff who already has one of everything! show less
