Synopsis "Fantastical Facts for Quizzical Kids: Totally Trivial (in English)"
Who, What, Where, Why, When? Is your child always asking questions; always wanting to know more? If so, your child is very probably a Quizzical Kid! But what are quizzical kids? Quizzical Kids are the ones who are always asking questions; the ones who want to know who, where, why, when and how? They are the ones who love to absorb a range of random facts, and who often surprise you with what they actually know. They are the ones who want to go beyond the basics that they learn in school; the ones who want to reinforce their learning with a lot more data and information; the ones who want to research and to astound us with what they have found out. They are the ones who love to absorb a range of trivia - and to show their knowledge wherever possible! Like elephants, they absorb and remember much of what they learn. 'Quizzical Kids' are interested in life, in the world, and in everything! 'Quizzical Kids' are wonderful ... but frustrating at time; because they send us researching for more information. They push us further into our own understanding of ideas and concepts. They make us think about life, the universe and everything. I LOVE teaching and working with Quizzical Kids; and it is for exactly that type of child that I have produced this book. Crammed with amazing facts about life, the universe and everything, it should keep even the most quizzical of quizzical kids engrossed ... and should provide facts that would intrigue any reader. With chapters on English and spelling; Numbers and Maths; Science; Space; The Human Body; Animals and Nature; Geography; History and even a ridiculously Random section, this book is perfectly suited for any quizzically minded child and should intrigue most people. It also includes 3 Quick Quizzes and 2 more major quizzes - an Elephant Quiz on the lines of the ones that I produce for the children at my school each month and a further research quiz - similar to those I gave the children at my Quiz Club.
