Customer Reviews

Fascinating and educational

A wonderful education book in a world of truthful trivia in a setting of color pictures and facts. I could hardly put the book down; it is fascinating. Did you know your brain uses 25% of your oxygen or that you can smell 10,000 different smells? Some people have memories for only one type of information (e.g. populations of cities, names of flowers, etc.) People with Alzheimer's lose their sense of smell as they lose their memroy. Anger, depression, fear and shock, as well as stress get in the way of memory. Do hummingbirds have better memory than humans? Read the book and find out.

A Children's Book?? I think not...

Hmm was very informative, and very interesting. It's easily eye catching, along with its sister, Burp!, it's not easy to miss. It's a book like no other, a must for every bookshelf.
