Random Illustrated Facts by Mike Lowery



Here is the book summary:
Trivia meets its match.

Did you know that Napoleon was once attacked by rabbits? Or that the Mars Rover sang itself “Happy Birthday”? How about the odd ingredient Civil War soldiers used to make coffee?

From Jupiter’s diamond showers to why pirates wore eye patches to the delightful link between dancing goats and the discovery of coffee, this collection of obscure and fascinating facts is brought to you by Mike Lowery, an illustrator and connoisseur of the offbeat. Featuring four gatefolds and hundreds of infographic webs that connect the trivia in dozens of surprising ways, it’s a little book that delivers endless delight.  


And now, my review:
I was really drawn to this book and knew my family would be too because we love trivia and learning crazy facts.  As we read the book, we enjoyed the random facts that were shared.  Many of the facts are now added to our fun facts to know.  It was really helpful that the book was set in different areas of interest.  There are many favorites for everyone.  Parental Caution:  Personally we found some of the facts not kid-friendly.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
