National Geographic Kids Myths Busted! 2: Just When You Thought You Knew What You Knew . . .

by Emily Krieger, Tom Cocotos (Illustrator)

Overview

This is the book that will put to rest rumors, misconceptions, superstitions, and flat out lies that you hear everyday—also known as the book your mom never wanted you to see. Want to make that face for hours? Go ahead, it'll never freeze like that. Enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and go swimming immediately after? A-ok. Have your dog eat off the same plate as you because his mouth is cleaner than yours? Better think twice on that one.
