OverviewThis zany miscellany isn't an ordinary encyclopedia by any measure. It's a collection of crazy, mixed-up, and highly addictive facts for young readers. Inside, kids will find thousands of strange, interesting, and incredible facts served up in a completely random style, perfect for a generation born net-surfing. Bright, colorful layouts draw the reader into a web of information, and wormholes scattered throughout the text encourage readers to leap from spread to spread. Design-driven features include: See Saw: A then-and-now box that juxtaposes two events - one from the past, the other from the present. Nerd Word: A key science term defined. Goof-a-Thon: A mistake with a happy ending. Columbus was aiming for India when he found America. Factoid: A little snippet to surprise your brain. Stat-o-Sphere: A world of statistics in bubble-shaped bites. Flop Ten: The opposite of a top ten and much more fun! Factpile: A stack of facts in which one thing leads to another.
