I love trivia, and that is what Learn Something Everyday basically is. Something you probably didn't know! Very colourful and simply illustrated, you can turn the page and learn something new everyday.
Based on their colorful cartooned website, learnsomethingeveryday.co.uk, the We Are Young design studio creators Peter Jarvis and Gethin Vaughn together form Youngand their book is here to help you stay just that: in heart, spirit, and especially mind.
There is a lot of interesting information packed into this small book. It would be perfect for gift giving or for yourself. It's not only entertaining, it is also educating! Did you know that strawberries contain more vitamin C then oranges? Or did you know oysters can change gender? Did you know Charlie Chaplin once came in third in a look-alike contest? You'll find all of these and so much more in this vibrant and colorful book. Sophophobia is the fear of learning! You won't have that if you get this book! I've put mine on my desk at the office.

Here's a fun, colorful book of odd facts that is sure to stimulate discussion.
LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is a collection of interesting, although fairly useless, facts. It is the type of book that could be picked up casually and read in a random fashion; however, once a reader gets a peek at just a few of the unique facts, it will be difficult to put this one down.
Here are a few samples to whet your appetite:
"Staying awake for two weeks can kill you."
"Ferrets can suffer from depression."
"Originally brides carried flowers to mask body odor."
"The longest carrot was nearly 20 feet long."
The facts are printed on lively colored pages and include simple but appropriate illustrations. This book is perfect to motivate reluctant readers. Simply hand them this book and you'll "catch" them reading before they realize what they're doing. LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY is also a great gift for the trivia buff who already has one of everything!
