Weird But True!

Nothing attracts young readers like the weird but true. Following the blockbuster success of the first book in the series, National Geographic have packed 1,000 more wild and wacky facts and photos into Ultimate Weird But True 2, making this the perfect gift for fact-loving 8- to 12-year-olds everywhere.

The first edition of Ultimate Weird But True was an instant hit in Fall 2011. Now the second edition has even more zany fun! Ultimate Weird But True 2 has a fun cover with lots of sparkle, is packed with cool photos, and features the same dynamic design that made the first book such a hit. Content is all-new, with new chapter titles and even more too-strange-to-believe stories, such as: the world's most expensive hamburger, which breaks the bank at $295; the world's largest chocolate sculpture; duck fashion models; and many more oddities.
