Look out freak show lovers!  I just got the new Ripley's Believe It Or Not - Unlock The Weird   and you're gonna wanna check this out! I LOVE these books! This is the 2016 edition of the series and I am super ecstatic!  The eyes on the front are little holograms too and so freaking cool. Love the bright design and coloring of the cover.

At the beginning of the book, is a well written Introduction, that explains the sacrifice many w...

We always say, as a child, "parents just don't understand." This will help you to understand and guide your child. And ...
