This is the eighth book in the Factopia series, a unique approach to sharing facts. These hardback tomes are filled from end page to end page with interrelated facts- “most mind-blowing and extreme” in this volume.
I have been reading this series since the beginning and we can’t keep them on the shelves, they are so appealing and popular for a range of ages and abilities.
Readers can follow the paths of facts and veer off in different directions as and when they feel inclined. There are hours of fact following fun to be had within the pages of a Factopia book.
As I was reading and following the track of this one, I chose a few favourites to share with my family. These were our top five! There were so many weird and wild facts to browse through- this is a treasure trove of information.
I think the blend of colourful pages and fun illustrations make this a joy to read and in fact, the entire series is bold and bright. I can’t quite imagine how so many facts were compiled and linked together to create this series but I am so glad this was done.
This is a collection to have in schools and libraries for those children who want something bold and fun, informative and accessible.
