Colourful, bright and packed full of facts, this is a great book to dip into. There are no contents, or sections, you just open any page and discover something interesting. For example, what is the biggest wave ever recorded? What are the oddest things found inside a shark? How long are the bandages needed to wrap a mummy? Plus many other fascinating facts.

I would probably recommend this for children of 7+. Although it does not take a long while to read from cover to cover, it is great fun to dip into and my daughter and niece absolutely loved it. It is certainly a book that they will come back to and is very entertaining and beautifully designed. I ordered this after they loved, “The Epic Book of Epicness,” by the same author and I heartily recommend both.

Een leuk boek met allerlei feitjes, en niet op een saaie manier, oh nee! Deze heeft illustraties die ons de feitjes vertellen. Je ziet wel duidelijk dat het boek uit Engeland/Verenigd Koninkrijk komt (gegeven hoe vaak het voorbij komt, zoals met de vampiers of de zon). Maar ik heb echt genoten van dit boek, weer wat nieuwe dingen geleerd en ook flink wat gelachen.
Zeker dus een aanradertje.

This book really is an awesome book! My son and I have read through it several times together and I don't even know how many times he's read through it.
It's one of those type of books that boys (or girls...sure) keep in their backpack or back pocket and it gets all stained and dog-eared and trashed. It gets passed around and shared on the playground and ends up who knows where.
It's full of cool facts, weird stuff, and general awesomeness! Some of it might even be further worth looking up on your computer, phone, or whatever. Great stuff! 👍🏻

It was amazing, with the most random facts. It has been read multiple times, by me.
