Billy's Review:
It almost seems unreal that Ripley's Believe It or Not! began back in 1919 in the New York Globe, dazzling and scaring readers ever since. For ten years, Ripley Publishing has been releasing an annual collection of the most bizarre, incredible and amazing true stores known to exist around the world. The newest edition, Dare To Look!, was released this fall for both children and adults to enjoy.
Dare To Look! has caught up with the newest technology, as it has an oddSCAN™ logo which you can scan with your Smartphone to get extra content, such as video, pictures, etc.
The freakish stories are organized in 12 chapters: Believe IT!, World, Animals, Body, Sports, Popular Culture, Transport, Feats, Digital, Art, Food and Beyond Belief with hundreds of full-color photos throughout.
No kidding! Kyndra Batia of Garden City, Texas, sent Ripley’s this amazing picture of a baby goat born on April 26, 2012, with just one eye in the middle of its face.
Learn about true stores that are too insane to believes, such as the Werewolf Sisters from India, the Elastic Man, a real-life Evil Clown, life-size baby heads made out of white chocolate, the Stone Forest in Madagascar, Ghost Skulls, Towering Inferno, a lake full of Jellyfish, an Albino Turtle, See-Through Frogs, a Cyclops Goat and many other true tales.
I've been a fan of Ripley's Believe It or Not! since I visited the Ripley's Museum in Branson, Missouri when I was a kid. Despite the sudden death of the founder Robert Ripley in the 1959, the Ripley's franchise of fun facts has continued over the years in TV series, cartoons and books. The recent release, Dare To Look!, has a neat 3D cover that is guaranteed to get the attention of any shopper who is looking for a Christmas gift for a family member or friend, young or old. Dare To Look! is brilliantly put together with amazing photos and facts.
