Amazing. Because of dust mites and the dead skin that you shed, in ten years, your mattress will probably weight twice as much as it did when you bought it. The body has enough iron in it to make a nail three inches long. Olympic gold medals are mostly silver covered in a thin layer of gold. If you put salt in water the water level goes down instead of up. All dogs are descended from wolves.

Jack and Annie of "Magic Tree House" fame introduce this glossy, fact-filled volume that features some of the most amazing facts from their many travels through time and throughout the world. The book is organized loosely by subjects and includes facts about animals, the human body, outer space, science/nature, sports and famous landmarks. The format is snappy. Each spread is packed with photographs, fact boxes, and informative text in varied fonts and vibrant colors. The facts are interesting and varied, and the last section presents random facts that do not fit in with the other chapters. Back matter includes an index. This is a great title for browsing and is suited to those readers that enjoy information and trivia.

Osborne, Mary Pope and Natalie Pope Boyce Magic Tree House: Incredible Fact Book, 130 pgs. Illustrated by Sal Murdocca Random House, 2016. $16.99 Content: G.

Jack and Annie take the reader through some of their favorite facts. Some of the subjects include animals, the human body, space, landmarks and places. This book is basically a large fact book similar to National Geographic’s Weird but True Fact Books. The illustrations throughout are bright and attractive and the facts are interesting 3-5 sentence long explanations. There are up to 2-3 facts per page. This is a fun book for your nonfiction readers.
