AA.VV
Cool stuff to know about every country in the world. Everyone knows which is the worlds highest mountain, but do you know which country banned chewing gum? Or whats the worlds stinkiest fruit? Or who invented roller skates? Or which building leans more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Or where can you eat fried spiders as a snack? Here at Lonely Planet we decided to make a book about the worlds countries for children, not parents.
The world is a very big place, and in The Not-for-Parents Travel Book weve concentrated on the really interesting bits to create a snapshot of what each country is like. (Warning to parents: these might not be the same really interesting bits that you like
where to buy coffee, how many stars the hotel has, whats the phone number for the airport, blah, blah, blah.)
In this book are the epic events, amazing animals, hideous histories, funky foods, and crazy facts that make the worlds 200 countries so fascinating. Each country has a page to itselfso tiny Tuvalu gets as much space as superpower USA.
