Publisher's description:
Did you know that: the first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was Shredded Wheat in 1893 (it beat Kellogg's Corn Flakes by just five years); Scarlett Johansson, Ashton Kutcher and Simon Cowell all have twin brothers; Everton were the first British football club to introduce a stripe down the side of their shorts? Well you do now! This book is filled with fantastic facts and figures to amaze and intrigue ...once you start reading you'll be hooked for hours!
Dads Space Review:
Everyone loves unusual facts and figures, and this book is full of 'em. Your kids will love reading about snakes (Apparently, while they can digest bones and teeth, they struggle with fur and hair), body parts (did you know the tongue is the fastest healing part of the body?) and toilets (the worlds most expensive toilet is covered in jewels and mink fur and is worth over $175,000), and you'll appriciate the peace and quiet while they lose themselves in it. To be honest, it's interesting reading even if you're not a kid, and you'll probably find yourself stealing it to get a few fact to impress the lads with down the pub (We certainly had no idea that Rolf harris was the Australian Junior Backstroke Champion in 1946). A top book, and that's a fact.
