Prepare to be out-smarted parents!,
By joolsm (Sunny Devon UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Actually Factually (Buster Books) (Hardcover)
Actually Factually passes the hardest test of all...it impressed the children!
This wacky take on a kids reference book is split into bitesize chunks, with cheeky nougats of smarty pants info perfect for getting one-up on the old fogey parents, and questioning those common misconceptions we are all guilty of! "Chocolate gives you spots" will fill young people in on some burning questions while classroom science is put in a much more quirky and memorable form when the seasons are explained. Creations like this from Buster Books are great for encouraging inquisitive children to think independently!

50 popular myths explained,
By
This review is from: Actually Factually (Buster Books) (Hardcover)
An interesting little book, aimed at children but fun for adults too. Author Guy Campbell takes 50 misconceptions and explains the facts behind the myth. Do microwaves really cook from the inside out? Why do carrots help you see in the dark, or do they? Can chocolate really give you spots? These and many other muddles are explained in a fun way with an easy to read text. A great bedside book and very entertaining.

QI for children!,
By
This review is from: Actually Factually (Buster Books) (Hardcover)
This was bought for my 9 year old son for Christmas. Initially he was a bit dismissive but picked it up a couple of days after Christmas and is now finding it hard to put down. It does what is says in the summary - takes long-held beliefs or misconceptions and gives the truth behind them - about two pages per "fact" as far as I can see. It means that he can now rival his dad (who got given the QI book) in the "Did you know.....?" stakes! Written well enough for children to read and understand - but not over-simplified. A good find.
