As a matter of fact, when I read that to my daughter, son, and my son's girlfriend... all 3 of them tried - and failed! That is one of the reasons why I love the National Geographic Kids Weird But True! books so much. These books make kids (kids of all ages - including adults) think, try something weird, and they learn something new! Plus, they are learning --- and that's a win at any age!
Entertaining and brain bending facts like that, coupled with visually stunning and eye popping photos and graphics, are the reason why the 35+ titles in the National Geographic Kids Weird But True! book franchise are considered the gold standard in educational, entertaining books for kids. With over 5 million copies sold, published in over 15 different languages, and featuring a broad range of topics from science to food to pop culture, Weird But True! books nab kids’ attention and get them reading.
I've always encouraged my children to look at books and read, even when they were toddlers. Books let their imaginations run free and take them to places unknown. Books also fill their minds with knowledge and facts that will fuel them for life!

As I've said many times before, I just LOVE National Geographic Kids books! Both of my kids get books for Christmas every year, I also give my nieces and nephews books as part of their Birthday and Christmas gifts as well. National Geographic Kids has a wide variety of books that kids are sure to enjoy! I love the fact that their books are both educational and fun. They are also bright and bold... they grab your child's attention and pull them in!
However, don't let their mane fool you. These books aren't just for kids - adults enjoy reading them too. Trust me!
