Annotation
Ripley’s does it again with another engrossing and gross book full of incredible and unbelievable facts. The traditionally strange covers of these books will tempt students.
Gross isn’t the only intrigue found in this nonfiction book. Readers won’t be able to resist sharing the short descriptive pieces of strange facts out loud to whoever is closest. As soon as a student starts talking about the star with a diamond core discovered above Australia they will have over the shoulder readers of every age, including the teacher! However the book does include stomach churning, yet grotesquely fascinating believe it or not events as well. A man berried in worms and eating them for an hour, on a sweeter note a dog nurses lion babies, a zebra and a horse make a baby horse, a duckling with 4 legs, and a giant bunny and tiny human baby. Real photographs are connected to each crazy fact and pages are colorful. The stories are categorized into a few different chapters such as animal antics a body oddity. This is a truly fun agelessly entertaining read and could provide students with many interesting conversation pieces. Libraries should buy the most current issue every year because students will look for the most current production.
