The biggest, the strongest, the fastest, the loudest-- Recordmania sets the bar for the best atlas of the world's incredible records. From mind-boggling feats of human endurance to the unimaginable extremes of the natural world, these pages are filled with records that defy expectations and surprise the imagination. Did you know for example that the fastest recorded skydive was so speedy it broke through the sound barrier? Or that smallest park in the world was made for a colony of leprachauns? Split into 6 categories and covering every- thing from sports, architecture, animals, humans, technology, dinosaurs, space, and nature, each category is packed with feats that will delight. Trace out locations across each atlas before delving into the detail behind each record. Recordmania: Atlas of the Incredible is cleverly designed and thought- fully illustrated, the perfect gift for the curious-minded.

Reviews for Recordmania: Atlas of the Incredible

Graphically stunning. Paired with graphic illustrations reminiscent of screen prints, each block of information looks almost like a travel poster for each new world record, making readers want to explore every page for hours on end. -- Let's Talk About Picture Books If your child loves facts but is a reluctant reader, they may take an interest in this book. -- CASTLE VIEW ACADEMY RECORDMANIA highlights the amazing diversity of the world, both artificial and natural, and the creators do a good job at providing vest-pocket highlights of such amazing wonders. - KIRKUS
