National Geographic Kids- Weird But True book review & giveaway

by Andrea on March 10, 2010

My boys love to be read to. Ethan can read but he hasn’t been bitten by the reading bug just yet. The boys favorite books are normally non-fiction science books. They love to learn about animals and the world around them. So when I had the opportunity to review National Geographic Kids Weird But True I jumped on the chance. I just knew that it would be a book that they would bothweird but true enjoy. I was right! They both really love the book.

National Geographic Kids Weird But True features 300 wacky, wild, mind-blowing facts about everything on Earth and beyond. It’s all about animals, food, science, pop culture, outer space, geography, weather and more! Did you know that peanut butter can be converted into a diamond? That a sneeze travels 100 miles an hour? Or that a sheep, a duck and a rooster were the first passengers on a hot-air balloon?

This is such a fun book! My boys have requested that I read it to them over and over. Some of the facts are just plain funny! National Geographic Kids Weird But True features almost 200 full color pages of interesting facts and figures. It is available from National Geographic for $6.95.
