Recommended for grades 4-12. World records in the categories of Pop Culture, Sports, Science, Nature, Money, Human-Made and US. No bizarre records as in the Guinness book. Each page is devoted to one record and includes a half-page full color picture with a detailed description of the record holder (i.e. World's Fastest Passenger Train). A small graph on each page shows the top five in each category. The US category was interesting - one record for each state (largest alligator population, largest water park, etc.). A brief section at the end lists "Most Embarassing Records" (most basketball fouls in a season, etc.). A fairly complete index is included.

The Scholastic Book of World Records 2010 is written by Jenifer Corr Morse. Just like the National Geographic Kids Almanac, this book offers a different reading experience than your traditional book. It's a book you can open to any page and start reading. The world record explanations are quickly delivered in 1-2 paragraph formats. This book would be good for children or adults who like to amass a good amount of trivia knowledge. It would be great for children who enjoy competition. It would also be great for children who don't like to read. I would like to have this in my classroom library for my students to peruse at their leisure.
