Synopsis

As a 2004 Dr. Toy’s Best Vacation Children’s Products Award Winner, "World Trivia" reveals many amazing and amusing facts of culture, politics and geography around the world. Distinctly different from most trivia books, it illustrates a broad range of cultures and political realities with enhanced geographic and map information. It is designed to enrich our knowledge of the world and its people. This book is for all readers, especially those thinking globally. It is also a great teaching resource supplementing multicultural and social studies curricula.

Sample questions include:
· Which country has a ratio of sheep to people of about 20 to 1?
· Which is the only Asian country never to have been occupied by a foreign power?
· In which country do women sometimes have more than one husband (not the other way around)?
· In which country is collecting mushrooms a major national hobby?
· Which continent has only one river?
