I received a copy of Ripleys Believe it or Not Reality Shock at no charge to facilitate my review but all opinions expressed here are my own.

As the mother of incredibly inquisitive teens with the attention span of gnats, we are huge fans of all the Ripleys Believe it or Not books.  They are chock full of amazing photos and unbelievable facts.  It is also laid out so that the book can be read a page or two at a time or just opened up right to the middle and enjoyed in whatever order you want!  The newest Ripleys Believe it or Not book is called Reality Shock and if you have curious kids that need something to keep them busy, this is definitely a great choice!

My Review:

It always amazes me the number of crazy facts that Ripleys can come up with for each of their new books.  From the largest collection of Barbie dolls to the lady that turned herself into a 'human skin rug' using some crazy silicone substance you (or your kids) will be seriously amazed at the stories in this book.

There is a nice blend of stories from the natural world to crazy things that people have done to their bodies.  Modern stories focusing on skateboarding and Star Trek are balanced nicely with sea monsters and human tails.  Definitely something for everyone in this book!
