Everything You Need to Know About the World
Simon Eliot
From weird science to pop culture, bodily functions to animal behavior, stuff to wonder aloud on a long car trip to what we never even bother to think about, let this hilarious, irreverent kid's-eye view of life teach you Everything You Need to Know About the World. Do you know that tennis was invented by monks? What is the most dangerous crocodile on earth?  How do you say "fart" in Romanian? What does the word "pet" mean in French? (Hint: it smells like a rotten egg.) How many monarch butterflies fly from Canada to Mexico every year? What really happens to our bodies during puberty? How did the Foo Fighters get their name? Welcome to the wacky, wonderful world of Simon Eliot . . . a place where adults and curious kids alike can learn a few facts about things you never thought you knew, or thought you knew but were wrong, or were always afraid to ask.

Everything You Need to Know About the World review by YG

YG

On January 30, 1968, during the early morning hours of the most important Vietnamese holiday of the year, the North Vietnam forces invaded South Vietnam in a campaign later called the Tet Offensive. Besides the war in Vietnam, a lot happened during the year 1968. Written by a New York Times writer, the book "1968" describes all of these events in great detail. Readers will be pleasantly surprised by the stunning visual references and the easy-to-understand format.
