I enjoy books like this. I feel as those these books are good for children who are not really keen on reading stories. i found this book good for children to relate to, for example in the book there is a part which talks about every state and what they hold a record for, the children could look for the state that they are from and see if they recognize anything.

I read this book a long time ago and it was wonderful. The facts inside are my favorite. Including a car and some other stuff that I love. Sometimes the facts gets interesting because now that I think about it, it was really good.
