Editorial Reviews

Gr 3–6—Students who love the "Guinness Book of World Records" or the "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" series will enjoy browsing these volumes. Their vivid pictures and concisely presented, interesting facts will also grab the attention of reluctant readers. Students will be grossed out by images of the biggest annual food fight and wowed by the tallest snowwoman ever and by the growth rate of bamboo. The books have a fine balance of natural versus man-made records. While students will be equally satisfied with the "Guinness" and "Ripley" titles, libraries looking for a bit more variety in this area will be pleased with these choices.—Esther Keller, I.S. 278, Marine Park, NY
