Reviews for The Mind-Blowing World of Extraordinary Competitions: Meet the Incredible People who will Compete at ANYTHING

"""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 *"
