SERIES REVIEW: Each of these series titles introduces readers to a variety of “weird” places, animals, plants, sports, weather, or things in space. They talk about a number of unusual topics related to the given title’s subject, with trivia-like information from many parts of the world. Most weird things have pictures and a paragraph of information associated with them, but some topics (at least in plants, animals, or places) are only briefly mentioned and lack a picture to show the reader what is being talked about. A useful way to explore the more uncommon aspects of our world.
