  • Must Read!
Format: Hardcover
I love this book! Its as entertaining as it is Informative.

  • Very Interesting
Format: Hardcover
I bought three of these to accompany A Marriage at Sea. In our book club, the idea of being as prepared as possible was a big issue. These little books have a wide range of emergency procedures, most of which you'd never encounter, but it's still very interesting reading. Ironically, it stays in the bathroom for quick and frequent reads. (TMI?😊) ... show more

  • Fun Reading

I bought this for my adult son as a Christmas gift. I giggled at all of the scenarios and the way it was written was great! He thought it was a great gift and loves to have nonsense knowledge!

  • You’ll either like it or hate it
Format: Hardcover
This book can be used with a table game of the same name. Some of our grown family members think certain answers to choose from are ridiculous and not worse their time to play the game. I admit some answers are totally goofy. However, I think it’s a great game to use with kids. It can be used as a fun teaching lesson on many different topics. The creator of the game definitely has a sense of humor. I think homeschoolers could use it and even design some projects based on questions from the game. If nothing else the book could be a funny gag gift for the right person. I think I’ll take mine off the bookcase and have some chuckles of my own. ... show more
