Reviews"I have a loyal group of nonfiction readers (ages 8-10) who come into the library each week in search of The Guinness World Records. If all of the Guinness books are checked out, then they will check out The Scholastic Book of Records or The Dangerous Book for Boys. Now there's a new general knowledge book that will have reluctant readers asking for more...The Worst Case Scenario Survive-O-Pedia would make a popular addition. Beware, you'll need to start a waiting list once the kids see it!" The Nonfiction Detectives blog
