My Review:
I recently had the chance to review Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Dare to Look! book. My kids and I have always been intrigued by the odd and unusual so we were very excited to receive this book. We actual own several of the Ripley's books but this one has topped them all! There are so many crazy, unusual, strange, and just plain fascinating thing things in here. The photos are all high quality and vibrant. Both of my kids have spent hours reading the book and really enjoyed it. A lot of it is actually is educational and they are getting reading time in!
Several pages open up as double pages. This book is HUGE with 256 pages! The hardcover makes it extra nice and would make a great gift. It retails for $28.95 and can be purchased at all major booksellers. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the strange, odd, & extraordinary. You can stay up to date with Ripley's by following them on Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube.
