Uncle John's Bathroom Reader

Great to use in a history or social studies class to spark interest and humor.

Fabulously entertaining history!

Get the real story behind the Great London Fire, female Ninja's (yet, they are real), Hollywood's relentless meddling with history and much, much more. This is an amazingly good book and I heartily recommend it. Buy it sight-unseen and you'll never regret it. What a super read!

Uncle John's Bathroom Plunges into History

I have bought two of this series for my husband and he is very enthusiastic about them. I will be getting the others and probably read them myself.

Just What the Trivia Doctor Ordered!

Trivia afficiandos rejoice - here's another wonderful sampling of historical facts, personalities and events from the "Uncle John" franchise. Like its 2001 predecessor which sold 500,000+ copies(!), this installment ranges through all ages and all continents to bring you interesting facts on people, places and sundry things. Fun, informative articles on the history of money, medicine, the Amish, Ninjas, art, inventions, sports, flowers, literature, disasters, purses, salt, famous encounters, great goofs in history, etc., etc. - this book has it all. (I especially like the entries that correct historical inaccuracies. And those entries that spotlight how Hollywood rewrites history in its films). So, pony up your $16.95, sit back and enjoy!

Must Have

I really enjoy the whole series. Intesting factoids GALORE! Funny conversation piece, when your guests are in your restroom for a "LONG TIME" then come out and say.. "Hey those are great books, Where'd you get those!"
