Growing up I was a huge fan of Ripley’s Believe it of Not! I love that I can share that fun and curiosity and love of the bizarre with my children. Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!: Reality Shock! is the perfect coffee table book. It’s packed full of bizarre facts, photos and stories that both children and adults can enjoy. I love reading books like this when I was young because the facts were so absurd that I was always left wondering what else was possible. In this latest annual I learned that Nie Yongbing took only 21 minutes to inflate four tires with his nose while 2 adults stood on each tire!
One of my favorite features of the book are the pictures. In a world full of Photoshop actually getting to see some of these amazing events and people is incredible. Listening to my boys laugh and get grossed out by the pictures can be very amusing as well. Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!: Reality Shock! is a great conversation starter as well. That’s why I mentioned before that it’s a great coffee table book. People can’t help but reach for it and that’s when the fun begins. The conversations that have started because of this book have not only been hysterical, but revealing. I know I have said it before, but this is a great gift item. The age range is huge, as it appeals to both children 8+ and adults. You can’t go wrong.
