Product ID: 19101382
Become a junior genius with the first three fact-filled books in from the Jeopardy! champ and New York Times bestselling author, Ken Jennings. Become an expert on maps and geography, Greek mythology, and U.S. presidents with the first three books in Ken Jennings’ popular children’s series! Wow your friends and teachers with all sorts of clever facts: Did you know that the biggest desert in the world is actually covered in snow? Well, how about the story of Prometheus and how he outsmarted the gods? Or that Thomas Jefferson introduced the first French fries at a fancy state dinner? With great illustrations, cool trivia, and fun quizzes to test your knowledge, these guides will have you on your way to whiz-kid status in no time! This fact-tastic boxed set includes Maps and Geography , Greek Mythology , and U.S. Presidents . Review: Fun read - Bought for 9 years old. He enjoyed the president book but didn't finish it. He called me from other room to tell all the fun facts on pages and it was fun listening to it. Book is easy to read and funny, but probably for 11 or 12 years and up. It's more fun if you know many presidents, first wives and their era. My son wasn't sure which one is Kennedy and too young to understand why Kennedy's looks had impact on TV. So he'll enjoy more when he becomes teenager or go college. Review: The author mocks Baron Trump for being upset and he wants us to buy his books? No thank you., - Author Ken Jennings posted this on Twitter today: "Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking". Making fun of the Presidents son after his seeing a photo even Chelsea Clinton called disgusting, and the author wants your kids to read his books? I think I will pass.

Everyone is learning!
Gave this set to my nephew along w/ a few of the other titles. Here is a note from Grandma re: a road trip they took. "Wanted to tell you I think the Ken Jennings books are wonderful. Sawyer regaled us with interesting facts from the Mythology one and I have been reading the one on maps and geography. I plan to borrow some of the others when we get home" That's good enough for me!

Smart, witty, and full of humor.
My son loves these books. He reads and re-reads them, and laughs aloud. He repeats the jokes to me along with the facts. Ken's style makes learning fun.
