For "Believe It or Not Fans"!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This great collection of weird stuff is for both youngsters and big kids (too!) who are fans of the "Believe or Not" kind of stuff that will often surprise you.The author began this writing project after hearing about a smalltown museum that has two fleas dressed up like a bride and groom! (She found it, too!) She goes on to say that her favorite discoveries are the historical items: some Civil War soldiers were not men!; the post office once used camels for delivery! Then there's the man with the collection of 1,060 different air-sickness bags!Kids will love, of course, reading about the longest worm in the world.Chapters are organized by Animals, People, Places, Lifestyles.
