SCHOLASTIC BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS 2008 by Jenifer Corr Morse Category: Non-Fiction Age Recommendation: Grades 6+ Release Date: 9/07 Publisher: Scholastic Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius" Rating: 5 Stars 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! |
