The Round the World Quiz Book

This road-trip-ready quiz book tests kids’ (and parents’) knowledge of the world at large via hundreds of questions at three skill levels: newbie, rookie, and genius. McMillan covers a broad range of topics, including geography (“Which is the largest continent in the world?”), nature (“True or false? There are no venomous mammals in the world”), and human activity (“What is Esperanto?”). Many of the questions are multiple choice, and answers to all are included at book’s end. Numerous word-search puzzles are included, and the pink-and-yellow color scheme is eye-catching without being too lurid. The depth and breadth of the questions (and corresponding facts about Earth and beyond) are impressive—readers will come away with a wealth of tidbits to show off. Ages 8–12. (Apr.)
