Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is globally renowned as the authority on the weird, the eccentric, and the amazing. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! provides entertaining books for children of all ages which educates and informs them in a humorous style. The Ripley brand is known around the world as a trend-setting source of family-friendly fun and excitement! Every day the researchers at Ripley’s are busy digging up the craziest true stories and the most unbelievable facts.
In my honest opinion, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! gets better and better with each release they do. My family absolutely LOVES all of the Ripley’s books, especially my step-son. He can entertain himself for hours flipping through the pages. I really like when he talks about one of the stories he read during dinner. It’s a book for everyone to enjoy, children and adults. It’s the type of book that never stays on the shelves in your school or local library.
I cannot wait to show my step-son Ripley’s new title. These books are one of his absolute favorites. Every time he gets a new title to add to his home library, he ends up carrying it around with him for a couple months.
I really like the Ripley’s books too. They’ve been around way before I was a little girl. I remember having to wait months in order to check out one of their titles from the library, both school library and public library. I never had the opportunity to own my very own copy, so I relied on the libraries. Ripley’s Believe It or Not 100 Best BIONS delivers the way you expect any Ripley’s book to deliver. As with all others, it’s broken into chapters: Classics, People, Animals, World, and Exhibits.
What I like the most about this title is that these are all stories that have been published before. They are the best 100 stories. Many of them I remember such as the Lizard Man, the Indian policeman with the extremely long beard and Mary the Asian Elephant…but there were many that I never had the pleasure of reading before this book such as the Phuket Vegetarian Festival, Liu Ch’ung who was born with double pupils in each eye, and Elmer McCurdy how is known for the phrase “You’ll never take me alive”. I really enjoyed reading through this book and I know you will too.
Retailed at $24.95 US/$28.95 CAN, 100 Best BIONS is available for purchase at all major bookstores as well as online through Amazon. I highly recommend you pick this title up for yourself or for your kid…you won’t be disappointed.
