We love when we receive Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Books.  They are so interesting, and intriguing.  But, when we receive the kid’s books, it’s an honor.  I have a 7 year old, and the books we just received, he’s already read through, and enjoys them. Sharkee and the Teddy Bear is such a cute story, and the Character is named after a Ripley aquarium mascot.  How cool is that?  The story line is both fun and unexpected.  It’s sure to delight your child, and even you and your family.  Jacob just loves it. A teddy bear has fallen into the ocean, but there were witnesses. And they want the teddy bear. Join Sharkee and his sassy sidekick as they search for the bear, stopping to ask all sorts of marine animals along the way with varying degrees of silliness.  There is so much more to the story, go to the site to check it out. Bremner and the Party is another amazing book from Ripley’s Believe it or Not!  The story line is also fun and unexpected.  And, another character named after a Ripley aquarium mascot.  Which is just so cool.  I love when characters are named after real…

The new Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Shatter Your Senses! Book is spectacular.  So many great stories in it, and all true.  I love reading the Ripley’s books.  They always tell me so much stuff I didn’t know.  For example:  SEE the world’s most expensive dress ever sold at auction, worn by starlet Marilyn Monroe and covered in over 6,000 rhinestones! Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has always been so entertaining to me.  And, my wife just loves it, as well.  Now, my 20 year old, daughter, is into it.   And, we are getting our 6 year old, son, to look through it as well.  He’s starting to read, but he really enjoys the pictures, for now. The new Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is on sale now, and there’s a first look at all kinds of things, including: TASTE the freaky foods featured—from starfish skewers on the streets of Beijing to Australia’s witchetty grub! FEEL the heat as you read about Taiwan’s traditional fire fishing! SMELL the fresh air—which is sold to tourists in Guangdong Province, China, by the bag! HEAR the crowds roar as performers like AcroBritt, Short E. Dangerously, Captain and Maybelle, and Hammer Head take the stage in…

I gifted these to my best friend’s little girl, who is 3.  She loved them.  And, her mommy especially loves that they are from Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Oddphabet, is so cool, Kendall kept looking at it.  Each letter is represented by an unlikely animal/fish, and it’s awesome.  This will help Kendall learn the Alphabet, and learn unique animals.  Like B is for Blobfish, & N is for Norwhal.  This will be a great book to help her with the letters.  And, her mom and I love it too. Oddphabet is also a board book, so you don’t have to worry about the pages being ripped out.  It’s nearly impossible.  We’ve tried.  I love board books for this age child. With the price of $6.99 US, you can’t beat it.  You get all the letters, and it’s from Ripley’s!  You couldn’t ask for more. Wacky 1-2-3 is also a cool book.  There’s rhymes for each number, as there is in Oddphabet.  But, with the numbers, you can count the objects.  This is giving Kendall lots of help so when she starts preschool, she will already know so much. Wacky 1-2-3 is another Ripley’s Believe It or Not! book.  This is…

I want to first say, “This book is awesome”.  My 19 year old, daughter’s, boyfriend (Josh) sat down and looked through the entire book.  Even finding a site they had seen over the Summer.  The book is super cool, and a perfect gift for anyone who loves the Weird. Josh was so excited when he saw “Junkyard Art” on pages 196-197.  He said he remembers passing that particular place on a trip they took, to Erie Pennsylvania, over the Summer.  Sarah, my daughter, was in aww, to see it in Ripley’s book.  “It’s fun when you see something in the book, that you saw in person,” Sarah said.  And, Josh was truly amazed.  He said “I knew I was interested in Ripley’s book, but now I’m really interested.”  Then they sat and read about “Junkyard Art”. There’s so much to see in the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Book this year.  And, Josh found that out.  Looking at the Index, it’s just not enough.  You really have to sit down and take the time to look through the entire book.  You will find so many things that are interesting. Josh took the book home, so I haven’t gotten a good…
