    The SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS is back, this time with new and updated records for
    2008.

    This interesting and resourceful reference guide is divided into seven main categories:

    Sports Records
    Human-Made Records
    Nature Records
    Popular Culture Records
    Money and Business Records
    Science Records
    U.S. Records

    Filled with both interesting (the world's fastest land bird -- the ostrich) and obscure (the country that drinks the
    most bottled water -- Italy), there's something here for everyone.

    This would make a great addition for home or school libraries.  Highly recommended!
