Customer Reviews

Amazing!!

I bought this book per my eight year old son's request. and I must say, we have had hours and hours of reading, laughing and awing over all the incredible, gross, beautiful, wonderful, and amazing things captured in this book. I would highly recommend this book! A great way to get young ones interested in reading. Buy it, enjoy it with someone, you won't regret it!

11 year-old grandson loved this book

Good book for boys in the 9-12 year-old range. Plenty of stuff that's gross enough to make grandparents squeamish, but right up the boys' alley. He loved it!

Believe It or Not

This is an excellent rendition for readers interested in a plethora of curiosities on earth. The book describes how the Zebrafish repairs its own eyes. There is a beautiful picture of a monster mushroom. A bionic hand is depicted along with a robotic violinist. A section has a curious museum of brain matter. The Colorado wrestling alligators are shown in a popular action pose. Lastly, a spectacular Crystal Cave depicts an atmosphere of pure ice. The acquisition would make a perfect gift for the curious at heart.
