What They're Saying

Critics Review

Free association rules in this gathering of hundreds of facts about science, technology, and the natural world. * Kirkus Reviews *Books like the excellent FACTopia! by Kate Hale prove the printed word can still bring its A-game to the table … There’s a great balance of subject matter, combined with the slightly gross, creepy-crawly type information that children love so much. * Robin Brooks, GeekDad *This witty illustrated book is perfect summer reading to inspire and delight curious children aged 8+. I enjoyed discovering all the amazing about facts how the world is connected. * @vivizoneofficial, Instagram *
