Review:

National Geographic Kids has another great addition to their Weird But True guides with 300 fun facts about New York City. 

When we think of New York city we think of tons of yellow cabs and honking horns. Did you know it’s illegal to honk your horn in the city unless it’s to warn danger? Another funny fact is that the first gas powered cabs were red and green. The largest public library in this city holds 125 miles of bookshelves. To ensure that the Brooklyn Bridge was safe P.T. Barnum paraded 21 elephants and 17 camels across. Every year millions of green bananas are sent to a facility in the Bronx to ripen. 

Parents, teachers and the reluctant reader will get a kick out of this guide filled with great photos and fun facts that are interesting and engaging. These short bursts of information will provide a gasp or chuckle for any reader.
