I’ve mentioned before that my son is a reluctant reader. It takes a lot of cajoling to convince him to crack open a book, let alone finish one. When these Ripley’s Believe It or Not books arrived, though, he couldn’t keep away from them. He keeps peeking at the covers, perusing the pages, and telling me about facts he learned from them. These titles are terrific for kids who hate to read as well as those who LOVE to read!
Ripley’s Believe It Or Not 100 Years hardcover is a massive coffee-table worthy volume. It’s different from some of the other Ripley’s books in the way that it contains a lot of history behind Robert Ripley’s legacy. There are background stories and sketches that I’d never seen before. I especially liked learning about the way Ripley’s brand evolved over time.
This magazine-style issue is a special anniversary edition. The shrunken heads really caught my son’s attention! I’m surprised he was so shocked by them. I suppose he was a little young the last time we rode The Jungle Cruise at Disney World. I need to show him the Star Wars page. He’ll love it!
Ripley’s Believe It or Not books are a great way to encourage kids to read captions. With the wild and surprising images, kids are highly engaged in the texts. When it comes this easy, I’m not opposed to sneaking some reading skills in!
