This book is about stories that are supposed to be funny, at the same time be educational. I really wouldn’t recommend it because it’s just a bunch of stories that really don’t make any sense. But I really liked it because it something I would read just to get a laugh or just because it’s something I rather read than reading a book that I wouldn’t even like and its history but in the funny way.
