LitPick Review
Have you ever wondered why we dream? Or maybe why
cockroaches can live for weeks without its head? These are
just 2 of the 101 things you need to know (and some you
don't) in this book. Every single entry in this book is
true, and will mostly be liked by younger kids. This book
is very interactive, and there is a "form" to fill in
after
each of the 101 things discussed in this book. If you
complete a form, you can take a star sticker from the back
of the book, and put it on that page! A very colorful
book,
each page asks a question, which is answered in a few
brief
paragraphs below. The questions touch many different
subjects and ideas, and therefore, you are bound to come
across interesting facts you have never heard about
before.
Amaze your friends! Quiz your parents! Most importantly,
have fun!
Opinion:
<p>Even though there are many amusing items I had
no idea about before, I believe that the authors did not
target the older audience. Throughout this book, the mood
of the book seemed to be appropriate for kids from 10-12.
It is a bit complicated for most people younger and too
relaxed for those that are older. The forms make the book
very interactive. Even though I did not complete the
forms,
it would take much longer to complete it than to read the
short paragraph descriptions right beside it. Therefore,
in
my opinion, the balance in this book is questioned.
Furthermore, the facts are presented in random page
numbers
even though they are categorized, which makes the flow of
this book more complicated to grasp. All and all, this
book
is colorful, interactive, and fun. It gets the general
ideas across, which you can use to amuse and quiz your
friends and families.
