Disclosure:  I received a free book; opinions shared are mine.


My kids love going to the Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg, TN.  Believe it or not, they also enjoy looking at Ripley’s books.  Each year, my children find books under the tree.  They are going to love the new Century of Strange!

My son’s teacher requires 20 minutes of reading at home each night.  As you might expect, this daily practice tremendously improves fluency.  Like many boys his age, my son prefers informational texts with high-interest topics.  He is going to love shocking me with facts and photos from A Century of Strange!

The book is full of color photos and other creative text details.  Timelines, captions, and sidebars help kids develop reading skills.  They won’t even realize they’re learning!
