This book is full of interesting information and detailed photographs. The table of contents lists the following areas of content: science and technology, money, pop culture, nature US, and sports. There is an enormous amount of history embedded in the facts listed in this book. It would be a great gift book or one to sit and share with someone too.I will relate one set of facts I thought was interesting because i enjoy traveling. The Golden Gate Bridge is the most visited national site in the United States. The next four sites that were listed after the Golden Gate Bridge are: Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, George Washington Memorial Parkway, and the Lincoln Memorial. I have seen them all and they certainly are worth putting on your list of places to visit too.One other fact I thought was interesting too is that the Blue Whale can weigh up to 143.3 tons and can eat up to 4 tons of krill in one day.So there are a few facts to get you started.I think you will enjoy this new book of world records.*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
My son is in 2nd grade and came home with an older version of this book. He seemed interested so his aunt purchased this for him for Christmas. This is an awesome coffee table book to peruse and I love that my son picks it up periodically and just reads it because it is interesting.This book tells you facts such as what is the most traveled to tourist destination in the US. Or what the driest (wettest, coldest, warmest) inhabited place in the world. This isn't so much a Guinness Book of World Records telling you all of the crazy and awesome things people have done, although there are things like musician who sold the most records, actor who made the most money, etc.I highly recommend this book.
My daughter was a little disappointed. She likes to see more human unusual records. This book seemed to have a lot more records on things, like oldest churches, best selling phones, stuff like that.
Fun! We look forward to a new edition of this book every year. As a family, we spend time reading it out loud and enjoying the various records.
Got the for my son for Christmas. Love these books. Full of fantastic facts from all over the world.
My daughter pours over these, she loves this version, along with the standard Guiness ones, she says they cover things for "another angle".
My daughter loves reading about facts. She couldn't put the book down.
Kid loves this book. Easy to read with lots of fun visuals.
