5,000 Awesome Facts (About Everything!) Reviews
-
What a fantastic book this is! And it's not just for kids. I love the format-each page, or two-page spread, is a different subject. The photos are fantastic and some of the facts are just too dang funny. Really quite a great way to learn something new.

Let this book fall open to any page, let your eye fall upon any item on that page, and I defy you not to find something surprising, hilarious, and informative or all three at once.
Page 50-51, for example, "35 Awesome Facts about Australia & Oceania:" 27, More kangaroos live in Australia than people.
Page 174-5, "35 Fascinating Facts About the Future:" 18, Ask for a reading lamp in the near future and poof!--a holographic light bulb will appear above your head. (And I for one can't wait.)
Page 152, "100 Marvelous Mammal Facts:" 20, A beaver's eyelids are transparent so it can see as it swims underwater.
Page 110-1, "50 Facts that will be Music to your Ears:" 4, Archaeologist can still play ancient flutes made from animal bones that are between 7,000 and 9,000 years old." and 33, Macaque monkeys and chimpanzees will sometimes drum on dead trees."
Page 62-3, "35 Facts about Women who made History:" 13, Nearly 2,000 years ago, sisters Trung Trac and Trung Nhi led vietnamese forces in a rebellion against Chinese rulers, capturing dozens of forts over several years." and 24, Mary Anderson invented windshield wipers in 1903 after watching New York City drivers crane their necks out their windows to see in the rain."
I could go on but you get the idea. Imagine a kid on your lap and this book in his or hers. Neither one of you would ever get to sleep -
Some very interesting stuff in here. I learned quite a bit of useless trivia. One might rather entitle this "4,000 Facts and 1,000 Fictions," though.

Splendid, a good book. I get most of my information here.

5000 AWESOME FACTS ABOUT EVERYTHING isn't an oversell of a title. This one is a collection of lists. List about random things like peanut butter, mummies, the ocean, migrations, colors - truly random and truly interesting. The lists are visually interesting and all include factoids. We are all learning a lot from this one.

I give this book 5 stars because it had a lot of information and facts that I didn't know of before. I would recommend this book to people of ages 10+ because it has some big vocabulary in it for older people. Other than that I find this book to be very entertaining and informative and I would most definitely recommend this book.

It was a good book. It is not a short read though. It has facts about literally everything. It mentions things about Egyptians and other things. I recommend it to everyone.
-
This book provides captivating snippets of information, but the format could be better, for it seems extremely arduous to read a page in one go.
-
So many facts like in 2020 we will have iPhones sewed into our clothes. Lol! We are only on three cameras Xd
