My 8 years- old instant favorite. He is constantly telling me odd facts that he read in the book and almost each conversation from him starts with "Did you know that.....". He loves to take it with him and share it with his friends.

I suggest you peek "inside the book" at the table of contents before buying this book for your child. Some of the topics covered include-guesome executions, Off with his head, pirate punishments, aliens, ghosts, the inappropriate facts go on and on, ugh! It's too bad it has dark elements.

I loved this book. I'm one of those people who likes to learn weird things, so this book was so much fun. With info like different types of ghosts, the world's deadliest animals, and everything in between, this one will never leave your bookshelf. I like re-reading it (and the sequels: Children's Miscellany Too and Children's Miscellany III) because it's full of cool facts. It's one of the few books that can prove learning is fun.
