About this deal

Hidden tombs, ghostly ships, boiled vipers, samurai warriors, snow machines, pet lions, hidden pyramids, secret codes, flaming fireballs, wooden swimsuits, sparkling jewels and many more are all woven together in this ingenious web of connected facts.

When not producing commercial work for clients Andy can be found in the studio screen printing books and posters. Every fact in the book is connected to the next in an ingenious trail of information; hop from topic to topic in unexpected and hilarious ways, and discover extraordinary facts about fungus, dreams, dogs, tyrannosaurs, planets, diamonds, bumblebees, robots, jellyfish, Egyptian mummies, and more! I grabbed this one to read with my toddlers because they enjoy learning and have a million questions! But there's not just one trail through these pages: sometimes your path branches and you can choose to jump to a totally different (but still connected) part of the book. Because they’re all connected like a story, you have to make sure to slot just the right fact into that spot.As you follow the trail of facts you find that the "weight of the largest chocolate bar ever made is the same as 6 male polar bears!

Je kunt een pad volgen van begin naar het einde maar ook af en toe een detour nemen en een ander pad volgen! Andy Smith is an award-winning illustrator who studied Illustration at the University of Brighton and the Royal College of Art in London.

For example, pages 6-7 show how the topics go together and move from fact to fact: start with Romans eating ice cream made from ice on snowy mountains. This brilliant book reads like one of those classic ‘choose your own adventure’ quest books – but with facts! With more than 300 witty illustrations and photos, and topics from space and dinosaurs to volcanoes and pharaohs covered, there should be something here for everyone.
