Bought this book as a christmas giift for my 8 year old daughter.. she loves it ... she is learning a lot of facts and daily asks us "Do you know" questions to test our knowledge :-) .. she is enjoying every a bit of it and we are glad that we purchased something that will enrich our child's knowledge at this tender age..

New author Jordan Moore steps onto the Trivia stage with a nod to providing interesting reading material while passing the time at home, In this easy to read (and absorb) book, Jordan offers a cascade of facts that provide not only entertainment but also educational topics – not only for kids but for everyone who is curious!
Providing an overview of the topics of interest in this book, Jordan outlines his content in the Introduction – ‘The world is full of interesting things just waiting to be discovered…this book has precisely 1,272 facts, covering everything from the sun and the moon in outer space to the animals and plants here on earth – plus food and drink, film and TV, words and languages, sports and games, ad a lot more besides! Some of these facts are funny. Some of these facts are strange. Some of them are surprising. But all of them are SUPER INTERESTING!’ And if that tasty intro doesn’t convince you to explore this fascinating book, add in facts about mythology, kings and queens, the human body, the weather, and weird words that will amaze!
Not only is the book entertaining – it is also very instructive. Jordan presents his facts in categories, each fact is short in length and offers a check box to let you know you’ve absorbed that one, and moves along at a pace that is entirely up to each reader. For those who are simply looking for solid entertaining reading to while away the hours, welcome to a field expert! Highly recommended!

This is a super interesting book for both kids and adults. I learned some information in this book that I did not know before reading this book. Some of the interesting information mentioned in this book include the following information: Flies can't hear their own buzz. Leotards are named after a French trapeze artist named Jules Leotard. Lemons float in water, but limes sink. Half of the world's orange juice comes from Brazil. The German city of Hamburg has 2,300 bridges. 95% of the universe is invisible because it is made of mysterious dark matter and dark energy that does not interact with light. The year 46 BCE had 445 days. Some other sources outside of this book claim the following for the reasons why: Julius Caesar added three extra intercalary months to recalibrate the calendar in preparation for his calendar reform, which went into effect in 45 BCE. This year therefore had 445 days and was nicknamed the year of confusion and serves as the longest recorded calendar year in human history. The actual planetary orbit-year remained the same.

I purchased this for my grandson who is autistic. He's extremely smart & gets bored very easily. He LOVES this book!! He takes it with him in the car & somehow he took it to school so he could read it during class. His teacher noticed & managed to sneak up behind my grandson & started to read what he was reading. The teacher found it as interesting as my grandson. About 5 minutes later my grandson realized someone was behind him reading his book too!! This is a great book for ALL ages. Highly recommend!!!

A fun book for all ages, but especially for kids who like to share their knowledge with others. So much cool info packed into it, and always learning something new. A great road trip book!

Eight year old George - very bright with a reading age of 12+ was instantly enthralled, and thought that this was a great present from Uncle William. Uncle W. (me) had bought it second-hand for a little less than £4. I think that the full price for a new copy would have been somewhat excessive, but on the other hand keeping an eight year old quiet is a valuable commodity. However, he didn't stay quiet for long, and we had to listen to interesting facts for the rest of the afternoon (but we were in a pub garden, so it wasn't too much of a burden).
