A Missouri Association of School Librarians Dogwood Finalist for 3rd - 5th Grade "From Chinese dragon boat racing dating back thousands of years and the ceremonial boasting component of West African wrestling to modern pastimes like eating contests and chessboxing, each contest is given a double-page spread. This book is ideal for kids who like world record books and almanacs but might prefer something shorter, want subject matter curated toward the sillier side of life, or who just desire a little bit more background on the strange games humans have invented. A clear winner. " -- Kirkus "This is the sort of information book that will appeal to lovers of books such as Guinness Book of World Records , a large compendium to be shared and talked about. The section on challenges in mythology is interesting and there are challenges that youngsters may be tempted to try such as air guitar or growing giant vegetables. Lots here to entertain but readers will learn at the same time ." -- Library Lady he same time." -- Library Lady he same time.
