Did you hear the one about the crook who broke into a vending machine and then left a trail of cheese curls all the way to his hideout?

A gift for my grandson. . .ranked it a 5 star because he started to read the book during the opening of gifts! Yup, was really interested in ths book. Matter of fact, he told me he'd like another one in the series for his upcoming birthday!
As an adult I don't get this book - bunch of colorful pics and some weird facts, but its the rage. Kids took this to school and I heard about how all the other kids were so excited a NEW weird but true was out. Apparently there is now a waiting list at school to read the book! So, all in all its a winner.
My son loves these books. He is 7 and it is perfect for him. He thinks they are funny and reads them to his siblings as well.
This is as good as the other weird but true books. My daughter read the whole thing cover to cover as soon as it came.
My nephews, 7 and 10 both love this book and the complete series of Weird But True books. Great gift
My 11 yr old grandson loves this book. You won't go wrong buying it and the price was right. Lots of weird stuff inside the pages.
My kids love this! I bought it for my 13-year old daughter and she enjoyed reading this. My 9-year old son did as well. Well designed, great pictures.
Great series. Some of my students purport to hate reading, but most love these books. Engaging, fun facts, and interesting illustrations.
