It’s undeniable…..kids like gross things. If they don’t commit gross acts then the like to learn about them. There is one book designed for kids that will bring hours of entertainment to your household while looking at wacky (and sometimes gross) things and feats. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has a brand new annual called Reality Shock! In this book you will find stunning photography, amazing facts, and downright unbelievable stories.
My older daughter (3rd grade, age 8) absolutely LOVES Reality Shock! She has spent hours pouring over the pages and we have had many, many conversations about some of the amazing “talents” featured in the pages of that book. Each day she has a different fact that she loves.
When I became a parent, I knew my life would change. Reading is a huge part of our day and our household. Our coffee table books are the Ripley’s Believe it or Not! annuals. They sit on the table in our living room and we often pick them up as conversation starters.
If you are looking for a gift for an elementary aged child, consider adding Reality Shock to your list of possibilities. This book is great for 3rd grade and older. My first 1st grader is just not as interested as her big sister.
