National Geographic Kids Weird But True!  Ripped From the Headlines 2:  Real Life Stories You Have to Read to Believe             Paperback Book: 176 pages       

Such fun reading and the illustrations are so sharp.    The photographers are surely as great as the researchers coming up with all these gems.     In this book you will see and read about:  The glass 4 story circular townhouse in Almaty, Kazakhstan (the only room that is not see-through is the bathroom); the tiny turbine that two University of Texas Arlington invented to recharge your cell phone; the cardboard bicycle that can hold up to 300lbs is waterproof and fireproof; the pizza place in Ft. Myers, Florida where you can get python (yeah, the snake) on your pizza!; the volcano that erupts blue due to its high Sulphur content;  that there are about 1,500 volcanoes on earth that could erupt; some spider egg sacs can hold as many as 600 baby spiders! In Tokyo, Japan you can send your stuffed animal on a tour of the City sightseeing during the day while you are at school or work so they don’t have to bored waiting for you – the company will even send photos of your stuffed animal’s adventure to the internet so you can check on how much fun they are having;  you can zipline at 43 miles an hour from Andalusia, Spain over the river to Algarve Portugal or attend the annual Virginia City, Nevada International Camel & Ostrich Racesin which for $500 you get a safety class and the chance to be a jockey on a camel, an ostrich or a zebra.     Fun!   I love these books!
