As a parent and future educator, I am always looking for a way to pique the interest of children. Every Day on Earth by Steve Murrie and Matthew Murrie (father and son) is a great book to share interesting facts with children through reading short paragraphs. I could not ask for anything else. Did it work to grab the attention of my 11 year-old son?Yes, it did. I read some of the fun facts out loud to the entire family while we were driving and he enjoyed it so much he did not want me to stop. I think the shocker was when he asked if he could read it after I was done. He is my non-reader. I do not know if it had to do with the fact that I was reading the section on space and technology, but whatever it was got his attention enough to want to know about some other things regular every day people would not know unless they had a reason to find out. For instance, "an astronaut on the International Space Station" sneezes 100 times a day. The reason is explained in the paragraph. Another one would be about the 8,000 taste buds each having "about 100 taste receptor cells." I was told years ago that certain parts of the tongue taste one of the four basic tastes, not so much.There are so many other interesting fun facts throughout the entire book. There is not only reading going on, but also math literacy. Math conversions are found on just about every page. An example of that would be the "2 quarts (1.89 liters) of" hydrochloric acid the stomach produces every day. You get science, math, reading, social studies and much more from this book. I recommend Every Day on Earth to parents, teachers and students, especially boys.The authors provided a copy of the book for review purposes.Jennifer CoissiereAPOOO BookClub
The Murrie authors have done it again with this wonderful book that begs to be shared. Adults and children alike will be amazed and delighted as they learn the multitude of happenings that go on every single day. Sit with your child and explore these pages before bed . . . and then, sneak a few more peeks at the pages yourself later. Painstakingly researched, imaginatively rendered -- this book is one that keeps giving.
This book has many different entries, each of which is one page long. This means a quick, concise source of information on a specific topic. As a science teacher, I find this valuable.There is an entry on the amount of methane gas produced by a cow. Another entry features major volcanoes on Earth. Still another features a kind of bamboo that grows so fast that its growth can actually be seen as it happens. And so on...
I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked up this book. All I can say is "Wow!" The authors have done a fantastic job breaking down fun facts in a variety of categories that will appeal to all ages. I especially like the detailed information included with each fact, along with demonstrations you can do with your kids. Great book for teachers as well. Will definitely appeal to students in the classroom.
This book is a really fun way to learn about what happens on the earth every day. The trivia facts are a mix of science, history, social studies, and math. It's a great book for long car rides. I put it in the side pocket of my car door and every time I'm on a trip with someone, we play a guessing game with it. "How many turkeys do you think are eaten on Thanksgiving Day..." It's a great way to pass the hours and to learn something new!
Even though some of the information is no longer current since this book’s publication in 2011, it was still an entertaining look into some of the amazing things that happen around the world everyday. No matter what your interest there will be something every reader will find engaging in the various topic sections of: living things, earth, food, the human body, pop culture, space, technology and sports.
This book contains a fantastically eclectic set of facts and information that will fascinate any 8-12-year-old. I was pretty entertained reading it, also, as an adult =)
