Kids, parents, and teachers love the annual Scholastic Book of World Records, and now the Ultimate Quiz Challenge presents an exciting, new way for kids to test their knowledge about all sorts of fun categories, including animals, entertainment, sports, and more! How much can a Komodo dragon eat at one time? Which Harry Potter movie has earned the most money worldwide? Who is the world's top-earning male tennis player? Kids choose from three multiple-choice answers and flip to the back to find out which one is right. The questions are presented in an easy-to-read, visually dynamic format. Kids will want to buy both the Scholastic Book of World Records and the Scholastic Book of World Records Ultimate Quiz Challenge because each contains unique facts. The questions are challenging without being frustrating and cover topics kids and parents can enjoy: Sports, Entertainment, Animals, Food, Human Body, Statistics, Science, World, and History.Children's LiteratureNot strictly about world records, this quiz book for middle readers (or other interested persons) is a combination of trivia, estimating problems with no facts to go on, and questions about things a kid (or anyone else) might not be expected to know. The nine categories each take up fourteen pages with questions, multiple choices, and lots of highly colored photos and drawings. The "Sports" and "Entertainment" sections have most of the world record questions: "Who holds the MLB record for most career strikeouts?" or "What Cameron Diaz movie has earned the most money?" "Statistics" asks about odds and percentages, which can be fun to guess and then see how wrong your perceptions were, while some of the "Science" and "Human Body" questions might actually be answered by budding scientists. Most reminiscent of Trivia are the "World" and "Toys" categories. Answers expand a bit on the facts, though no sources are given for any of the information. The quiz could be fun for the insatiably curious or for those who love to stump friends and family while picking up a few useful facts along the way. So, "how many eggs can a queen termite lay in one day?" ("Animals," page 139) or even more interesting: "How many slices of pizza are consumed each second in the United States?" ("Food," page 130) Take the book along to lighten a tedious trip, or keep it on hand for entertainment at home or in the classroom. Reviewer: Barbara L. Talcroft
