Moving on to the "1000 Interesting Facts":
Most of the "interesting facts" did not interest me.
Some "facts", I would seriously question their validity e.g. "5.5% of North Americans die due to insect stings". Really !!!
Some "facts", as stated, were meaningless e.g "109 of the highest mountains are found in Asia". Think about it. What does that mean? The 109 tallest mountains in the world are all situated in Asia? Asia has 109 high mountains? What exactly is a high mountain and a not so high mountain, anyway?
Other "facts" I could have found interesting, if I had confidence that they were actually correct.
All in all, something to give your kids as a fine example that not everything you read should be believed
