A Review by Martin Ma from class 506

Do you want to know who hit the most home runs back in 1952 to 1976? Well if you read this book it will tell you. There is more information included like nature, sports, popular culture, money, technology, and the solar system too. There is a record for the 50 United States Of America. (For example, the state that the has most alligators is Louisiana). Find out more information on the fastest plane, fastest land vehicles, and so much more. I read this book cover to cover [beginning to end] over 10 times or maybe 15 times. I really prefer this book because all the facts are fascinating to read. First I could never keep my eyes of the book because it has many amazing details. Why do I never put down this book? Good question. Because details hold the story together like tape is holding together a broken toy. I know that in this book there are sections of knowledge. For example, what if you are doing a trivia contest, this book will give you questions and answers. The part that I liked the most was that the good examples about the richest man, or the richest woman, or the team that won the most World Series, or the world's best selling recording group, or world's best selling album.Well, I recomend this book to 4th through 6th graders because they need knowledge for their future in school. They might need the Scholastic Book of World Records for a report. Well if you are into studying cool facts this book could be a wonderful and superior read.
