ABOUT THE BOOK
TIME For Kids continues the success of That’s Awesome! to create, That’s Incredible!, a book filled with brand-new and impressive facts combined with colorful and attention-grabbing photos and illustrations about the marvels of the world.
That’s Incredible! is divided into 15 chapters, new and old, with 100% all new facts and records covering:
Record-breaking sports and games-and the people who broke those records
The incredible world of animals and plants such as the oldest living things on earth and unusual critters such as 40-foot-long giant squids
Technology and inventions that are making our lives and our planet greener and better such as vertical gardens, cars that fly, and robot teachers
World wonders such as the terra cotta army in China and the prehistoric drawings in the caves of Lascaux, France
Shocking, gross, and just plain incredible bugs that ooze slime, vampire animals, and the smallest person in the world
MY THOUGHTS
I received an advance copy of Time For Kids That’s Incredible!. Chapters include Incredible size, Incredible Animals and Plants, Incredible Sports, Incredible Food, Incredible Arts, Incredible Earth, Incredible Space, Incredible Collections, Incredible Jobs, Incredible Technology, incredible Human Body, Incredible Mysteries, Incredible Constructions, incredible Micro Worlds, Incredible Kids, and Incredible Weird But True. The slick pages are filled with bright and colorful photos and interesting facts. I am 45 and I enjoyed going through the book. The book is written in easy to understand language, making it ideal for readers of many ages. Some of the interesting things that I read about include art made of cereal, an animal that cannot be killed, walls made of plants, and that each year scientists expect to discover approximately 10,000 new species of animals. This book would be perfect for any pre-teen or teen that enjoys trivia or just learning things.

My children love all sorts of different and interesting books. We love shopping at Barnes and Noble during the Christmas season to see what kinds of different and interesting books that they have to offer. We don’t have any books on facts and records. This might just be something that could be a different gift for Christmas. I will put it on my list as a consideration.
I even enjoyed going through it. The writing isn’t too simple and the facts and trivia are short enough that it’s a light read.
I like trivia besgt when one eventually relates it to life.
Much of this related to life.
