Product Description

With annual sales of 200,000 copies, The Top 10 of Everything is clearly the place people go to get the lowdown on what or who was the best, worst, richest, fiercest, deadliest, or simply biggest of practically anything. It features 600 lists on a diverse range of subjects, from blockbuster movies and music to stellar universities, from crime and punishment to popular drinks. Find out which stars of stage and screen shone the brightest and which terrestrial animals weigh the most. See which habitable buildings are the tallest and which bodies are the largest in the solar system. Check out stats on airlines, crops, natural disasters, and sports. Some of the lists are entirely new; some are updated with the latest news, and all appear on attractively illustrated spreads with excellent background information. “First” and “Fast” fact boxes pinpoint the pioneers and the most recent achievers in various endeavors. It’s entertaining and educational!

Top Ten of Everything4
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.

Kids Love This Book5
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.

Top ten of everything 20085
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.
