When I was a kid, I used to watch Ripley's Believe It or Not on television. The shows used to hold me enthralled in its grasp. Death-defying feats, animal intelligence and physical traits were just some of the oddities that this famous show revealed in all its glory.
Since then, a number of books have been released with even more updated oddities that will leave you bug-eyed wondering if its even possible. In Planet Eccentric, the book has been divided into chapters, for example a chapter based on food-centred activities.
All the facts and snippets contain precise dates that lets you trace back to where and when it was discovered. Black-and-white as well as coloured photographs serve to enhance the reading experience by letting you literally peek into the lives of human's and nature's most weird turnouts.
This book is suitable for teen readers and even adults as it serves to enlighten and entertain at the same time. Somewhat like the Guinness Book of World Records, Ripley's is its cousin that focuses entirely on the weird and wonderful.
