"This funny, informative smorgasbord of non-fiction is a winner for 7+-year-olds with a thirst for facts."
After making a big claim (“read one fact from this book every day, and in just 365 days you’ll go from a regular person to a full-on intellectual powerhouse, and take your Genius-O- Meter from Low to WOAH!”), Mike Rampton’s Become a Genius in a Year certainly delivers big when it comes to engaging 7+-year-olds through attention-grabbing information on a vast array of topics.
Divided into months, each chapter is jam-packed with fascinating “on this day” facts and arresting material across the fields of science, medicine, history, natural history, geography, the arts and sport.
Pretty much no topic is off-limits (especially poo!) in this engagingly-designed, splendidly-illustrated feast of non-fiction. As a result, readers will come away armed with enviable knowledge of everything from how to milk a cow and rude-sounding airport codes (e.g. BUM and POO) to ancient insults, and historic figures who died on the toilet. In addition, in-depth “Instant Genius” sections dig deeper into an assortment of weird and wonderful subjects.
