Everything you need to know about the World by Simon Eliot is an entertaining book full of fun facts, child-like illustrations and humorous side notes. Do you know that tennis was invented by Monks? How to say ‘fart’ in Romanian? What does the word ‘pet’ mean in French? It’s everything you need to know and you’ll find it here.

I’m a great lover of interesting and bizarre facts and this book is full of them. It’s written for kids and is easy to understand with facts that will actually appeal to the younger mind. Thuogh I still enjoyed it I do find that it is most likely geared more toward boys with a whole section on ‘vomit’ and numerous facts about farts. The wonderful world of gross.

Check out Everything you need to know about the World by Simon Eliot - you’ll be entertained AND learn something. What could be better then that?
