Customer Reviews

Fun for one or family.

We have the hand held game also, but wanted a book for the times when you only have a few minutes, not enough for a whole game; or when several people want to play along. Good for car also as long as the reader isn't the driver of course. A little easy at first, but gets more difficult as you go. Everyone can play at once, one reading out loud and checking answers in the back of the book. Younger players can feel a part of the game by letting them answer the easier questions on every "quiz".

smarter than a fifth grader book

board game and nintendo game too repetitive like on tv - this book more what I had in mind - I just wanted the questions

I Thought I Was Smarter Than a 5th Grader, But Maybe Not

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? is a companion book to the hit television game show that allows readers to answer questions like those featured in the show. The book is divided into 75 different quizzes. Just like on the show there are ten categories ranging from earth science, chemistry, math, biology, U.S. history, English, human science, social studies, U.S. geography, world geography, world history, measurements, art, grammar, music, spelling, astronomy, physical education, animal science, physics, ancient history, and dance. The ten questions range from 1st grade to 5th grade level questions. Also each quiz also has a bonus question for the million dollar question. I love trivia books of every kind. I've seen the show several times and figured I'd pick the book up and see what it would be like. In all honesty, other than the format, the questions aren't that different than many other trivia books you will find around. However, the way the questions are arranged does allow you to play the game at home. The book is also very portable and good to bring on trips. It makes for a good way to pass the time with the family on long drives. Lastly, the book includes an introduction by Jeff Foxworthy. The introduction is rather short, but Foxworthy does share a few comments about the show and his initial impressions about being the host of a trivia game show. Recommended for fans of the tv show and trivia buffs.
