National Geographic’s True Or False is a brilliant book filled with 300 fact or myth questions, appropriate for the whole family. The book is filled with of brightly coloured pages with fabulous photographs and bizarre and brilliant facts. This book is perfect for key stage 2 classrooms and would make a fantastic stocking filler.

A simple format – once you actually gather what that format is. On one spread we get colours, and small snippets of information that look like factoids, but may actually not be correct. Turn the page and the spread shows the snippets headed by 'true' or 'false', because hey, some of those factoids were just that, but a fair few were porkies instead. It doesn't help things that the second one in the book is still in error – the temperature mentioned is the lowest naturally measured ON EARTH, and not just "the coldest ever recorded", which implies a lot of other places, from space to science labs. But the odd lapse in clarity for concision aside, this is not too bad, in that it asks more of the reader than the typical trivia book. If it makes someone doubt a word of what they read, and gives them a more discerning mind without turning to cynicism, this will have succeeded. It's the first step to making a new scientist or historian of a reader, after all. More importantly, it's just a quick way to get someone thinking and learning, and perhaps spreading that information to their family, which again is no bad thing, and should be a source of fun – hence four stars.

I always buy these sort of books for Christmas presents for my daughter, nieces and goddaughter as they all love them and like reciting random facts at me.
This was no different and me and my daughter spent half term reading through this , and spending quality time together.
Great book
