As my daughters get older it has become increasingly difficult to find books that we can read together for short periods of time. It used to be that we could read a Little Critter or Bernstein Bear book in 10 minutes and have a really good discussion. Now my girls are reading the Harry Potter series. Luckily I have found that Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Eye-Popping Oddities is a book that we can read together and the discussions about it last for way longer than most other books. It is a book that we look forward to reading every fall.

Be careful, you may find that you actually gasp and pop your eyes out while reading the tales and looking at the people in this book.
You will find Eye Popping Oddities at all major booksellers or you can purchase it online. It is easy to spot – there are five 3D eyeballs on the cover.
Eye-Popping Oddities! makes the perfect holiday gift for teens, tweens or reluctant readers. Order it from the Ripley’s website, from Amazon, or find it at your local bookstore.
