Synopses & Reviews
Attention, young readers! The writers and researchers at the Bathroom Readers’ Institute know there are many books in the world that are really boring—textbooks, history books, math books…blech! But this book is different. It’s informative, sure, but it’s also a whole lot of fun and packed with all sorts of weird, wild, and wacky facts. Take a look at some of what’s inside: the history of money (it really does grow on trees!); yucky yummies like fried spiders and candy-coated larvae; instructions for making paper airplanes and the perfect spitball; gross-out recipes for bloody eyeball ice cubes and other crazy concoctions; stories about cheaters who won and drop-outs who made it big; and old favorites like dumb crooks, amazing kids, animal oddities, and much more.
