Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature - Julia Beiker
Do you know where they made the largest chocolate kiss and how much it weighed? Would you like to live in a house where you can read the walls? How many straws did Marco Holt cram down his throat? How many bananas did Doug Fishbone pile on top of each other in Brooklyn, NY? Would you rather snuggle with a python or robotic dancing partner? Would it make it easier to find a prom date? If you want to know the answer to these questions and more, read the latest copy of "Ripley's Believe It or Not Special Edition 2008." This collection of weird facts and crazy events will make you laugh and, sometimes, get really grossed out. The extremely flashy cover begins this adventure into the world of what people will do for their fifteen minutes of fame. Nothing is sacred. One man squirts milk out of the tear duct in his eye. If you do not want to read the whole book, I suggest checking out the front of the book where the content's section gives you the choice of whether to look at "Wild and Loony" or "Bodies and Bones." The bright colors and dramatic photos appeal to all ages, and the condensed information text boxes urge all levels of readers to explore this wacky world of the strange and ludicrous. The bold captions with the special plays on words at the top of each section will challenge your ability to think on your feet, or maybe you are standing on your head reading this?
