Top 10 of Everything

This is a fun book. We used it for an evening of fun family entertainment and it kept us guessing and laughing for a couple of hours. However, it is rather easy to get through and I guess if you buy this book annually it would become rather repetative. But Mr. Ash has a lot of interesting and surprising catagories and it does provide an interesting look at many different subjects.

I got this book for a grandchild who loves facts and figures and history and seem to remember ALL this trivia. He loves it as well as several other grandchildren. Great book. Good price.

We use this book when we have family over for dinner. It engages everyone. I ask the ? and then each person that wants to participate answers. The rule is that each person responds and then the correct answer is given. If you choose to follow this format, it allows each person, no matter what age or intelligence, to give their response. Then when the caller gives the correct answer people immediately reflect on their own response first; then they think about whether they were correct. Believe it or not all this happens quickly (in my experience). There is not usually a focus on who was right or wrong. It may take some time to get participants used to the idea of going around the table before hearing whether their answer was correct. Children, probably, benefit from this approach the most, however; this approach allows everyone to save face. mcmg

It's a good book, I was sorry to see that Carlos Slim wasn't acknowledged as the world's richest man.
