Great Book - for both kids and adults

My 8 year old son loves this book. He's not a big reader but loves all the facts and strange things this book compares. I would highly recommend it for children.

Incredible!

Incredible! Just incredible! Russel Ash's "Incredible Comparisons" is a lively book that sends across amazing facts and comparisons about all sorts of subjects. Such subjects include politics, the environment, city life, space, people, geography, money, big buildings, and many more. The whole book keeps the reader on his/her toes, completely facinated with all the surprising facts and comparisons that are displayed. On every page I was inclined to say, "Wow! I never knew that before!" I think it is fair to say that the title is very appropriate; it is certainly incredible because I found out so many interesting details about our world, which Russel Ash so skillfully shows in this book.

chock full of interesting facts, but overwhelming!

This book has many facts and pictures which are truly incredible, and the text is well written and researched. However, for me anyway, the layout of the pages was such that it was quite overwhelming. Things were placed here and there in what seemed like almost a random fashion, and I found myself always feeling like I was missing something. I felt almost relieved to be done reading this, which is too bad, as it's really a neat book and I wanted so much to enjoy it more. My feeling might just be because I am older than the target age for readers, and a younger reader raised in the information age entirely would probably not have that problem at all!

This book is terrific for all ages!

This book is enticing to the eye and the mind! It's chock full of pictures, graphs, and charts that help define just how big a blue whale is, or just how long the Titanic is, or just how many people were killed by the Plague! It's absolutely fascinating for children AND their parents!! I was almost more excited than my son was about it!
