Time For Kids: That's Strange, But True! is a really cool book. The book contains facts of strange jobs and strange records about new things that were invented. This book has 14 different chapters. I highly recommend Chapter 5, "Strange, But True Jobs." I also think this book is cool because of the really neat color photos.
Here are some of my favorite parts of the book . . .
The photo below contains the boat car called the Python. It can travel up to 60mph in water. I like this page because I really like cars.
My favorite robot on this page is the soccer robot, who is the robot all the way to the right. I like it because I used to play soccer and I really like the sport. The robot plays at the RoboCup Championships every year.
The other robot I like is the one that goes along telephone wires and repairs them. I like it because now nobody has to get shocked while touching the wires.
I like page 91 because I think it's really cool. I think it's cool because it looks really weird. It looks weird because it takes normal objects and mixes them together with creatures in a confusing house of stairs.
I love this page because there's a really neat battle drone on the upper right. I like the battle drone because it looks cool and looks like it's made of bronze and gold. The battle drone is actually a piece of art from the 19th century. This robot is motionless and doesn't do anything.
I think this book is good for ages 7 and up. I also think it would make a great Christmas present. I would love to read and review more books from this series.
That's Strange, But True!: The World's Most Astonishing Facts and Records by Time For Kids retails for $19.99 and can be purchased at most major book retailers, like Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.
