What the Fact?!

by Gabe Henry, Dave Hopkins (Illustrator)

Overview

Every day is strange if you know your history.

This illustrated daily trivia almanac explores a bizarre moment through the ages for each day of the year, such as:

• The odiferous debut of Smell-o-Vision (January 12, 1960)
• The execution of Oliver Cromwell, more than two years after his death (January 30, 1661)
• The day the first pig actually flew (November 4, 1909)
• That time the United States ran out of toilet paper (December 19, 1973)

Drawing on a range of subjects including politics, sports, the arts, pop culture, and more, each What the . . . fact offers daily or dip-in-and-out diversion, and an opportunity to learn something new and stranger every day.
