Review:

If you are wanting to know who would be the most inventive or who could keep a straight face and your competitors were Booker T. Washington and Cleopatra, who do you think would win? Who could eat the most hotdogs, Gandhi or Frederick Douglas? If there were an alien invasion who would run and who would stay and fight, Joan of Arc or Eleanor Roosevelt? Who would win a medieval joust, Wyatt Earp or Winston Churchill?

This guide is spectacular. It’s a flip chart like you’ve never seen before. There are three parts to this cool book. The left and right sides are famous people and their biographies. The middle section has the competition categories which is host to two questions so readers can create a showdown of their choosing. These famous folks, over 100 of them, are rated for points from their Biography, Wealth, Fitness, Wisdom, Bravery, Artistry, Leadership and Intelligence. Readers will have fun flipping through these categories and picking the famous people to learn more about them and reading to see if they are up to the challenge. The illustrations are colorful and absolutely hilarious while showing off characteristics of these famous folks being ready for a big smackdown. Parents and teachers can use this tool to share history and lots of fun facts.
