Ok book about world records for children, just not for me.

[Angus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Did you know there is a rare watermelon called the densuke melon that can cost over 300$? What about the fact that the tiniest snake can be the most deadly? This book tells us about hundreds of never before seen world records and how difficult and amazing these are to accomplish or something like the blue whale that really deserves the position of "the biggest" or "the baddest". This book is so interesting and can give readers some new knowledge they'd love to know.

I chose to read this book because a few years ago this book was given to me as a present and I never thought about reading it, now I decided to read it because I'm very interested about records and I like to know interesting things.

I finished this book because all the interesting facts kept drawing me to the book and I wanted to read all these amazing facts.

I would recommend this book to my brother because he is not the type of reader for novels and such, but he enjoys learning new things and I think this book can keep him reading for awhile.

The Book of World Records 2011 is a book about different records that have been set for music, sports, animals, etc. For children that like to know random facts to quiz their parents on this book would be ideal. It can also give them encouragement to do their best because it shows what record they would have to beak in order to be included in future editions.

I paired this book with the fictional Mr. Tony is full of baloney! Mr. Tony an After School Kids' Care director who wants to be in The Guinness Book of World Records. His students take it upon themselves to help him.

I would put both books at 8 years of age or older. The Book of World Records 2011 is a very long read and doesn't have a story line to hold the interest of younger children. Mr. Tony is full of baloney! is also at the reading level for those that are in 3 grade or older.

The Scholastic Book of World Records was an interesting non-fiction book. I liked reading the cool facts about things. My favorite sections were probably music and animals. At first, it seemed like a lot to read but it went by pretty quickly because it jumps around a lot instead of staying on one thing for a really long time and there's only around a paragraph on each page. Another thing I liked were the graphs they put on each page. I would recommend this book to people who don't mind reading on some topics that aren't necessarily what they are most interested in and like fun facts.
