SOLVED. A kids book about facts, feats, and records. [s]

[Drew]

Hello, I'm desperately trying to find a book from my childhood. It's a illustrated cartoon book about facts, feats, and records. The book was published around the 1970's or 1980's. The color of the cover is more of a burnt orange color and the title is in big blue capital letters. The book is at least a foot tall like a dictionary, but is about 32 or 34 pages long. On the front behind the title or the back of the book, there are two columns of superlatives (the highest, the shortest, the sweetest, the loftiest, the slowest, the tallest, the fastest, etc.) And I believe there was a some cartoon characters on the cover. Every page has a superlative like the columns on the top of each page, and on the bottom is information of what is shown on the page. Every page is more comical, colorful, and funny. The first page reads out, "The Highest" and shows a furry creature with four arms pole vaulting. The second page reads out "The Driest" which shows an otter walking in the rain with other human people glaring at him for being very dry. The third page reads out "The Fastest" which shows a bright sun over what looks like Antarctica and a smiling Eskimo holds a clock in his hand. And the last page reads out "The Sweetest" which shows smiling human kids having fun with a bunch of candy raining on them. If anyone knows about this book, please let me know. Thank you!

Also, some more pages from the book popped in my head. One page says "the oldest" showing a tortoise smiling with a birthday hat and a cake with over 100 candles. Another says "the slowest", which shows a snail wearing gym clothes trying to run.

Drew, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

If you are, maybe Books of Records?

Thank you very, very much! You are a lifesaver! I ordered it off Amazon and it's exactly the one I was looking for! I looked through the whole book and everything from my childhood came back to me! Sorry if I didn't respond earlier, I'm usually a busy person. Thank you once again!
