I received a gifted copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Lovebookstours.
365 Cool Ways to Remember Stuff is a book that some of the children I work with will definitely love. This book gives ideas to children to remember important or specific facts and information in a fun and memorable way. This book has ways to remember spellings, figures of speech such as metaphors, alliteration, similes, as well as shapes, times tables, puntuation, historical figures and so much more. The illustrations are cute and humorous and add humour to the book. Some areas I can see children enjoying more than others depending on their learning styles and enjoyment of certain subjects. This would make a fun book for any class bookcorner.

This wasnt quite what I thought it would be but it did contain some tips and tricks I enjoyed.
" whats the difference between a cat and a comma?
A cat has claws at the end of its paws, a comma's a pause at the end of a clause."
"Why cant you hear a pterodactyl when its in the bathroom? Because it has a silent 'p'!"
My own hint for remember how to spell queue is to think of the QE2, I know that after q must come u then I think QE2 means 2 E's, it wouldnt sound corect if I wrote quee as it has a 'u' sound so queue is how I spell it!
Stationary and stationery is always one I have to think about spelling. I'm definitely going to use the hint here!
I didnt know how to distinguish the phases of the moon either but i will definitely remember COD!
Stalagmites and Stalactites used to be so difficult to remember, but as an adult who hates wearing them, I remember it by thinking ahhh relief when the tights go down. Not sure the age range that this book was designed for would appreciate that memory trick though!
I learned the 9 times table trick as a child and still use it now but I wasnt aware of the other hints.
Im sure there will be lots of use for this in primary school aged children.

What an absolute delight! Not only is this book incredibly informative for all ages, but it's fun to read and so very memorable - which is the whole point of the book!
The book gives interesting ways to remember specific facts or a piece of information, and straight away I could see the appeal to a younger reader. The book covers such a wide range of topics, and it was a joy reading though the pages myself.
More highlights!
- A children's non-fiction book that simply does what it sets out to do exceptionally well.
- It's absolutely worth buying for kids that are curious and those that always want to learn something new. It's the perfect tool for that!
- It's fun, educational and kids of all ages are sure to take something away from it.
- Quirky illustrations complement the text perfectly. Each page was not only fun to read, but so lovely to look at too.
- The book is easy to navigate and doesn't need to be read in order - pick a topic and see what you learn!

Although I myself found some of the content regarding literacy and mathematics interesting and useful, the rest of the book was bizarre. For instance, If a child cannot remember the colours of the rainbow or the star signs, rather than learning them, they're expected to remember an even longer, ridiculous rhyme instead.
In the poem about British King's and Queen's, the last line regarding our beloved Elizabeth was basically 'Then number two Elizabeth, and that's all folks...until her death! I just found this highly inappropriate for a child's book.
And when did we ever pronounce conscience as 'kon-shuns?'
Great concept, but maybe a little tweaking is needed.
Many thanks to Love Books Tours for my tour spot.

A book with a fun and colourful cover always gets my attention! I read through this over the course of two weeks with my nephew, who was a bit reluctant when it came to certain sections, more on that later.
For me, this book would have been a godsend when I was at school and I can see some of the techniques being quite helpful to me now at the old age of 35.
‘The Memory Palace’ was a technique that me and my nephew both enjoyed. This involves using your imagination to help you to remember things, it’s simple, it’s fun and it’s easy to do!
As we worked through each section my nephew's attention and interest was up and down, one section he really didn’t seem to like or want to engage with was ‘English Kings and Queens’. The book lists every single king and queen from William the Conqueror to Elizabeth the second, and then gives you a rhyme to help you remember them all in order.
Throughout the book there are some delightful illustrations and little boxes containing facts. I liked how the author has separated everything into easy to understand sections.
There is one section that I felt needed expansion and that was in the ‘Best Of The Rest’ section under ‘life-saving’ I think adding how to do CPR and the heimlich manoeuvre would have been very handy and also some detailed guidance on what the person should do should they ever find themselves in a dangerous or life-threatening situation. Also a section on stranger danger would have been good.
Overall, very informative and definitely something to have on your child's bookshelf, a good book for children to go through with a parent/guardian.
4 stars.

My Thoughts💭
I personally think this book is great. I have a dreadful memory. I’m not talking forgetful, I’m talking proper loss of memory. You can be speaking to me and I will forget everything you have just said. It really is that bad. If I don’t write a book review straight away, then I would not be able to talk about that book with you a week later.
Anyway, enough about me.
There are so many tips and tricks for adults and children.
Inside you’ll find ways to remember difficult spellings, times tables and dates from history, as well as pointers to help out with science, music, biology and loads of other subjects.
I really think every household would benefit by adding this book to their shelves.

I’m so glad to be a part of this tour.

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. I bet you’ve heard that phrase before to help you to remember the colours of the rainbow. You may have heard other mnemonic aids too such as Never Eat Shredded Wheat for the points of a compass. But how about My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas?
365 Cool Ways To Remember Stuff is packed full of these types of hints and tricks to help remember facts and figures. The book is split into sections covering literacy, maths, geography, science and art.
My nine year old son has been enjoying dipping in and out of sections that interest him. The maths section has been particularly helpful to him as it covers times tables, which they are having a big push on at the moment at his school.
He’s also just enjoyed flicking through and reading random facts which he’s then been telling me all about. So he’s certainly remembering stuff!
With how many topics this book covers I can tell it will be so useful for school over the years for my two children. There are some tricks that I’ve heard of before and even used as a child myself. But also many more that I wish I had known! I particularly like the spelling section. There’s some words that even as an adult make me pause when I’m writing and I doubt my spelling. “You should never beLIEve a LIE” is a great memory method for spelling ‘believe’.
Overall a fab, handy little book for kids and adults alike.

365 Cool Ways is jam packed of hints, tricks and tips on how to remember facts!
This book was a fun read with the humour added into and some great illustrations. Even as a 35 year old I found this to be quite interesting!
I cannot wait to share this book with my Godson Zachary (Aged 9) who I think will like this book and hopefully be able to benefit from some of the tips and tricks!

Very helpful for children (& probably some adults!!) We all know Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain as a way to remember the colours of the rainbow but this book is filled with even more hints and tips...the section on times tables help is really useful for children begining to learn these.
