We had a Scholastic Book Fair at our elementary school and my daughter's 3rd Grade teacher had this book on her wish list. To make a long story short, we purchased it for her, took it home, and now we have to buy our own copy because my daughter loves it.

There are 10 Chapters with lots of cartoon drawings and info balloons to break up the text.

The book should appeal to children who like trivia and/or weird facts. The Accelerated Reading level (ATOS) is 6.0 which means that your average Entering 6th Grader should be able to read the book without becoming frustrated by the vocabulary.

The Interest Level of 4th to 7th Grade is suggested, but apparently some 3rd Graders (and adults) find this book intriguing as well.
