Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!® …Eye-Popping Oddities
Who knew that there was so much strangeness in the world..
Well, Ripley’s for sure! This HUGE (9″ x 11 3/4″ closed)book is perfect for curious kids of all ages. I have a nine year old grand son, that treasures these collections. He can spend hours and hours pouring over the pages. Photos are bright (and sometimes a bit gruesome) and text is easy enough to read for many upper elementary aged youngsters.
From a dad in Essex, England who is one solid tattoo, to a Russian bungee jumper who has the “parachute” attached to his flesh with metal piercings (OUCH!). How about snail poop made into floor tiles or a hedgehog that is so fat that she can’t curl up into a ball. Crazy haircuts, horrific traffic…even daredevils sleeping in hammocks hundreds of feet above ground. If it’s odd, chances are it will be in Eye-Popping Oddities!
Kid’s will be hooked before they even open the book!
Cover is a bright shiny metallic silver with almost neon orange printing with lots of lenticular (winking) eyeballs in different sizes.
Here’s an eye-popping, exclusive FIRST LOOK of what you’ll find inside!
- Meet the “Austrian Rock,” who uses his amazing strength to pull a 156.5-ton Boeing 777 airplane!
- Read about the man who built his own iron suit to stand in the center of a blazing fireworks display!
- See an Australian couple’s incredible recreations of iconic movie scenes using cardboard boxes, everyday junk, and their toddler son!
- Check out Jorge Ivan Latorre Robles, who can stretch his skin, pop out his eyes, and dislocate his joints, allowing him to fold himself into a suitcase!
- Get the lowdown on the goldfish that had brain surgery to remove a tumor!
